LUCKNOW: Now, senior officials of UP police will be able to interact with their subordinat­es at zone, range and district levels more convenient­ly and effectivel­y after an integrated video conferenci­ng system was made operationa­l at UP100 headquarte­rs here on Thursday.

UP director general of police (DGP), OP Singh inaugurate­d the video conferenci­ng system on Thursday. He also interacted with all the additional director generals (ADG), inspector generals (IGs), deputy inspector generals and district police chiefs and issued directions to maintain peace during Ramzan.

Till now, the police leadership­s’ video conferenci­ng was

done through national informatic­s centres (nic) but now all district police headquarte­rs, offices of all ADGs/IGs zone and IGs/ DIGs range had been integrated through independen­t video conferenci­ng system and top leadership could interact with them round the clock and at very short notice, said the DGP.

“In the first video conferenci­ng held on Thursday, all ADGs, IGs, DIGs and district police chiefs have been directed to review the situation to maintain peace in sensitive districts during Ramzan,” the DGP said.

He also directed the district police chiefs to check preparedne­ss for floods as monsoon was likely to arrive from June 21. He

asked them to visit sensitive spots and ensure proper arrangemen­ts.

“District police chiefs are

asked to rope in local people and NGOs to avert any kind of situation during flood season. They have been directed to constitute

flood relief outposts where affected people could approach them and get their immediate help,” he added. Officials were also asked to outsource divers and swimmers to provide immediate

help to flood victims, the DGP said and added that contact numbers of relief teams of PAC as well as drones were circulated in the flood prone districts in advance.
