SOPORE: In continuation of its public outreach and grievance redressal initiatives, Police in Sopore organised Thana Diwas at Police Station Dangiwacha and Police Station Panzalla. The programme was aimed at providing a platform for direct interaction between the police and the public, enabling citizens to raise their grievances, share suggestions and discuss issues of local concern for timely and transparent redressal.

At both police stations, the meetings witnessed participation from respectable citizens, civil society members, traders, Auqaf members, Numberdars, Chowkidars, youth representatives and residents from the respective areas.

During the interaction, participants raised various issues concerning law and order, public safety, drug abuse, traffic management, verification and other local matters. The grievances were heard patiently, and participants were assured that all issues falling within the jurisdiction of the police would be addressed on priority, while matters relating to other departments would be taken up with the concerned authorities.

The participants were also urged to extend their cooperation in maintaining peace and harmony, combating the drug menace and promptly sharing information regarding anti-social and criminal activities.

Police reiterated its commitment to responsive, accountable and people-friendly policing. Such public interaction programmes will continue to strengthen police-public partnership and ensure effective grievance redressal. The participants appreciated the initiative and assured their full cooperation in maintaining peace, law and order and harmony across the police district.
