Do work for peace, security and good governance: DPM Shrestha

By TRN Online, Kathmandu, Feb 15: Narayan Kaji Shrestha, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs, has directed the Superintendent of Police to do quality work for peace and security, service and good governance.

DPM Shrestha wished SPs transferred as chiefs of various districts and offices for a successful tenure and directed them to do quality work for peace and security, service and good governance.

34 SPs were transferred as new chiefs in 22 district offices, seven police units, and four traffic police offices on January 15.

In the greetings and guidance programme held on Thursday morning at the Ministry of Home Affairs, among the presence of Secretary Dinesh Bhattarai and Inspector General of Police (IGP) Basanta Bahadur Kunwar, DPM Shrestha has urged to diligently work in the respective working areas after setting goals of good governance, social justice and prosperity.

Earlier, DPM Shrestha had directed collectively to all the Chief District Officers who had shouldered new responsibilities to work on government’s priorities by inviting them to the Ministry for greetings.  

Shrestha has started giving necessary instructions to officials before taking charge of newly shouldered responsibilities.

The ministry leadership also believes that this will encourage the officials to work and show efficiency by understanding the government’s workload, policies and programs.

DPM Shrestha has been directed to face the administrative and security challenges by the law without hesitation, pressure, and influence, as the government has already started the transfer policy based on capacity, efficiency, and opportunities, not based on access and various interests.

There will be no manipulation of forces and middlemen in transfers, promotions or appointments and if there is any weakness while conducting responsibilities, immediate action will be taken.
