The new guest house would reduce the inconvenience earlier faced by police officers and personnel visiting the border town for their official duties, he added.

Stating that police should always try to explore different ways to convince the public, he said they should hold regular interactions with the people and the CSOs so that unwanted agitations like bandhs and blockades can be averted in advance. He also directed the police not to confront with the public but make them feel that the gvernment is their guardian and nobody is above the law.
Public health engineering minister Losii Dikho, DGP L.M. Khaute, ADGP (LO) AK Sinha and other high ranking police officers were also present at the occasion.

He also appreciated Mao police’s works towards proper management of Covid-19 pandemic with their strict vigil on entry of people from there.
