In a very brave move, newly appointed Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora has given order to the force that his photograph should not be put up in the police stations. Officials said that Arora, a 1984-batch IPS officer, on Monday directed the force to not put up his photographs on the walls of police stations or offices of other units.
57 year old IPS officer Arora took the charge of Delhi Police Commissioner on August 1 following the retirement of Rakesh Asthana, .
Generally, it has been a tradition to display pictures of the Commissioner of Police at various police stations and units besides the photographs of Mahatma Gandhi, President of India among others. However, Sanjay Arora was not keen on his pictures being put up at police stations or any units associated with the force, a senior police officer said.
“So an instruction was given to all the DCPs that Delhi Police Commissioner does not want his photographs to be put up in offices or police stations at all,” the officer said.
In his first video message to colleagues, conveyed through the Delhi Police’s Twitter handle, Mr Arora had said he was honoured to work with experienced officers and policemen, and appreciated their activism and dedication in maintaining a sense of security among the public.
