Nagaland Home Minister warns policemen not to take law in hand

Kohima Oct 15 (UNI) Nagaland Home Minister Y. Patton, in a strongly-worded statement, has warned police personnel of stringent action if found taking law into their own hands.
Addressing at the attestation parade of the newly recruit 53rd batch Nagaland Armed Police/Indian Reserve Battlion havildars and constables at NAPTC ground in Chumukedima, near Dimapur yesterday, Patton made this statement, based on several complaints received by the police department that some uniformed personnel were taking law into their own hands. “I would like to give you a gentle reminder that those defaming the Department unnecessarily would be dealt strictly without any hesitations.” Patton was however, confident that the 443 new recruits (32 havildars and 411 constables) would not indulge in such activities. He further encouraged the new recruits to be ready to serve anywhere, as pledged, and to give their best services, wherever their posting place may be, with full commitment.
The Minister expressed dismay that most of the uniformed personnel did not want to serve in remote areas, where their services were needed the most. Patton also cautioned the uniformed personnel that he would ensured that no files would be processed for transfer and postings of their own choices. “Keep in mind that department knows best as to where you would be placed. Therefore, I reiterate that all should respect your job, place of postings”, said Patton. While congratulating the new recruits upon passing out, Patton reminded them that the profession they have chosen was not only meant for survival but a bounden duty to contribute and to protect the society and nation.
