Mangaluru Jun 28: Outgoing police commissioner of Mangaluru Dr P S Harsha on Sunday June 28 posted a heartfelt message on Facebook and Twitter in Tulu, expressing his gratitude to the people and recalling his service to the city.
"On August 9, 2019 I took taken charge as police commissioner of Mangaluru. It feel proud to say that I have tried my best, and worked sincerely for the welfare of the people. People of Mangaluru, the media, the department staff, senior officials and people's representatives have shown their full support. Now I have been transferred as commissioner of public relations and information department," Dr Harsha said in his post.
"I have also tried my best and worked sincerely with the aim of ensuring the safety of people, with concern towards staff, for a crime-free, drug-free Mangaluru. I think that we have succeeded, with the hard work put in by the police department, in maintaining law and order, and in making the department people-friendly. During my initial days in Mangaluru my priority was to strengthen the police beat system and focus on curbing rowdism, illegal activities, and drug activities,"
"Last Independence Day we had introduced the 'My beat my pride' system which became a success. It will not be wrong to say that 'My beat my pride' has enabled the police to connect with the public bettter, and work together with the help of the public. 'My beat my pride' was a bridge between the people and police, and even the faith of the people in the police increased. It is a matter of great pride that this system was reccommended to be extended all over the state.
"We had also introduced 'Asha Kirana' which was a step to provide rowdy-sheeters within the Mangaluru city commissionarate and opportunity to reform and come to the mainstream. This programme provided the right training to rowdy-sheeters so that they are made capable of securing a job and reform themselves. We have connected public through social media, and along with that we have conducted 'campus connect' programme to tackle cyber crime and to create awareness on drugs. We have also felicitated people and police who were part of the beat system through a live programme," the police commissioner said.
"Despite challenging situations like the anti-CAA protest, bomb threat at the airport, and the corona pandemic, I feel proud to say that with the help of the department and senior police officials, I have been able to face the challenges very effectively. I will not forget the experience of serving as police commissioner of Mangaluru which has a special place in the entire nation for its own culture, tradition and its lifestyle. I will always be grateful for the love and respect shown by the people of Mangaluru. The police deparment is like my family. During this Covid pandemic the service rendered by the police is huge. I once again thank the people of Mangaluru, the police department personnel, officials, and the district administration for their support. Thank you Kudla," Dr Harsha said.
Dr Harsha was transferred on June 26, and Vikash Kumar has been appointed the new police commissioner of Mangaluru city.
