IG Singh directs subordinate bodies to remain standby for potential disaster
Kathmandu, Aug 3: Inspector General of Nepal Police, Dhiraj Pratap
Singh, has directed the subordinate bodies to identify areas vulnerable to
disasters and remain on standby with preparedness and response plans.
While inaugurating today a police building
constructed on the premises of the Kathmandu Valley Special Security Police
Battalion Tripureshwor , the Nepal Police chief asked the bodies concerned to
assess and ascertain areas prone to water-induced disasters such as inundation,
floods and landslides and remain on standby to deal with untoward
incidents.
"The
Nepal Police has its role on the front line in crime investigation, management
of peace and security and disaster response," he said.
"In some cases, we have experiences of being
criticized for our failure to hold on to our patience which led to human loss.
That's why is necessary for us to control our emotions as per the context and
deal with the situation rationally and consciously, "he asserted.
Similarly, Kathmandu Chief District Officer Govinda
Prasad Rijal spoke the need of capacity enhancement of Nepal Police force as
per the changing time and situation. He took time to express his hope that the
Battalion would do its role competently for combating crime in the Kathmandu
Valley.
Kathmandu Valley Police Office Chief and Additional
Inspector General of Police Rabindra Bahadur Dhanuk was also present on the
occasion.
The facility was constructed at the cost of around Rs
230 million, according to Battalion Chief and Superintendent of Police Sanuram
Bhattarai. (RSS)
