Chief Minister Siddaramaiah opened the conference of Karnataka State Senior Police Officers on Friday at the Director General of Police’s office. In addition, he met with senior police officers.
After the meeting, Siddaramaiah in a press conference said “There is a lot of crime going on in the society today. Crime cases should be reduced in the society. If there is law and order in the state, the state will develop.
‘If any person comes to the police station, that person should be given courage and justice should be given to that person. In many cities, there are rowdies, there are thieves, there are people who spread false news, the police should put a limit on all these. I am speaking from my experience here.”
G.Parameshwar, the home minister, was also present at the ceremony.
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah urged Excise Department personnel on Thursday to combat illegal liquor in the state and reclaim tax arrears in order to meet the state’s tax collection objective.
“The revenue collection target of the department for the current year is 36,000 crores and the growth rate of tax collection is 5.31 per cent. All the officers should work hard to achieve the set goals,” Siddaramaiah said.
The CM also advocated for the required procedures to be taken to collect the tax arrears. He also stated that a separate meeting will be held to address the reform initiatives in the Excise Department. He commanded that Home Guards be stationed at border checkpoints and that suggestions be submitted to strengthen home guard services at other locations.
