The city of Amritsar has a new Commissioner of Police, and it is none other than the highly experienced and respected senior IPS officer Naunihal Singh. With a proven track record of excellence in law enforcement, Singh has taken charge of the Amritsar Police at a time when the city is facing multiple challenges, including crime, traffic management, and public safety.
Naunihal Singh is not new to the state of Punjab, having served here for over a decade in various capacities. His previous postings include stints as the SSP (Senior Superintendent of Police) of Ludhiana and Jalandhar, and as the DIG (Deputy Inspector General) of the border range. During his tenure in Ludhiana, he earned a reputation for being tough on criminals, cracking down on gangs involved in illegal activities such as drug trafficking and extortion.
One of Singh’s most significant achievements has been his contribution to improving road safety in Punjab. As the state’s Traffic Advisor, he introduced several measures to reduce road accidents, including stricter enforcement of traffic rules, the installation of CCTV cameras at critical intersections, and the creation of a traffic helpline.
Now, as the Commissioner of Police in Amritsar, Naunihal Singh has his work cut out for him. The city is a hub of activity, with a large floating population of tourists and pilgrims visiting the Golden Temple and other famous landmarks. Keeping them safe and secure while maintaining law and order is a challenge that requires a delicate balance of firmness and sensitivity.
One of the issues that Singh will have to address is the rising incidence of cybercrime in Amritsar. With the proliferation of smartphones and social media, cybercriminals have found new ways to target unsuspecting victims. Singh’s experience in dealing with tech-savvy criminals will come in handy in tackling this menace.
Overall, the appointment of Naunihal Singh as the Commissioner of Police in Amritsar has been widely welcomed by the public and the law enforcement community. His reputation for honesty, integrity, and efficiency makes him the right person for the job. The people of Amritsar can look forward to a safer and more secure city under his leadership.
