New Delhi, March 3: Chief Minister Mr Prem Singh Tamang attended the DGPs/IGPs Conference–Follow–up and Policy Deliberation Meeting organised by the Sikkim Police, where he interacted with senior police leadership and officers, yesterday here at Chintan Bhawan.
Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister stated that public trust, compassion, and integrity form the true strength of the police force, rather than the use of force alone. He highlighted Sikkim’s long-standing tradition of unity, mutual respect, and social harmony, and stressed that policing in the State must continue to reflect these values.
He called upon the police to remain firm and uncompromising against criminals while maintaining a humane, courteous, and empathetic approach towards citizens. Describing the police uniform as a symbol of identity, pride, discipline, and duty, he lauded the Sikkim Police for maintaining law and order with professionalism and earning recognition both within and outside the State.
While reiterating the government’s belief in inclusive and humane values, the Chief Minister made it clear that elements disturbing peace and social harmony would be dealt with strictly in accordance with the law. He also underlined the complementary role of the police and prosecution, describing them as two inseparable pillars of the justice delivery system.
The Chief Minister reaffirmed the Government of Sikkim’s full support to the police force and its continued commitment to strengthening policing institutions for the safety, security, and well-being of the people.
