BENGALURU:

Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has issued a veritable checklist for the Karnataka police to adhere to, including strict Covid-related vigil at border checkposts, bringing old crimes like gambling and drug-peddling, and new-age crimes like the ‘dark web’, under control, and not least being people-friendly.

Speaking at a meeting with senior police officers on Tuesday, Bommai had a word of praise for the men in khaki, calling the Karnataka police ‘the best’ in the country. The CM said various initiatives have been rolled out to improve working conditions and facilities for the police department.

Interestingly, he also spoke on the need for improving the lot of prisoners.
