Police Commissioner Dr Harsha bids Adieu to Mangaloreans in Tulu
Mangaluru: The police commissioner of Mangaluru Dr Harsha has been transferred to Bengaluru as Deputy Inspector General and Commissioner, Information and Public Relations on June 26.
Before leaving Mangaluru, Dr Harsha expressed his gratitude in Tulu through the social media, thanking the people of Mangalore for their co-operation throughout his tenure as the Police commissioner of Mangaluru City.
Dr Harsha said, “Last year, August 9, 2019, I had taken over the charge as the Commissioner of Police. In my 11 months of tenure, I have discharged my duties with integrity. I have tried my best to serve the people of Mangaluru in various ways, and I am satisfied with my service. In Mangaluru during my tenure, People of Kudla, as well as the journalists, senior officers, and the people’s representatives supported me in every possible way. Now I have been appointed as the Deputy Inspector General and Commissioner, Information and Public Relations. On this occasion, I would like to thank every one of you. I have put all my efforts to provide safety to people Kudla, the wellbeing of my policemen, and strived hard to make this city crime-free, and free from drugs”.
Dr Harsha further said, “I hope after the launching of my new initiative “My Beat My Pride”, policing in Mangaluru city has strengthened. My only intention was to strengthen the Police beat system in Mangaluru and also to put an end to Rowdism as well as illegal activities. I had given priority to curb the drug mafia. ‘My beat My pride’ is successful because the public joined with the police to curb the crime in the society. ‘My beat My pride’ is the bridge between the public and the police system which has increased the trust between the police and the people”.
“I have also given an opportunity for Rowdy sheeters to change their lives by starting “Ashakiran” and bringing them to the mainstream. Through Ashakiran, we have provided training to rowdy sheeters willing to change for the better. Through counselling and skill development training, we are trying to provide them with jobs. To take strict action against cybercrimes and bring awareness on drug abuse among the youth, we have started the ‘Campus Connect’ programme. We have also felicitated citizens who have joined the beat and also the policemen who have excelled in their duties”, said Dr Harsha.
While concluding Dr Harsha said, “The police department has performed their duties with dedication during the time of CAA protests, when a Bomb was found in Mangaluru International airport and now during the Corona Pandemic. With the support and co-operation of the senior officers and policemen, I have performed my duties well, and I am proud of it. It has been my privilege to serve as the police commissioner of Mangaluru since Mangaluru is very famous for tradition and culture in the state, as well as in the country. I am indebted to the people of Mangaluru for the concern, love, trust, and respect towards me during my tenure in Mangaluru as police commissioner. The police department is like my family, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, the entire police department is co-operating and performing their duties well. Once again, I would like to thank the people of Mangaluru, the district administration, and the police personnel. I will cherish my memories as a Police commissioner in Mangaluru. Thank you, Kudla”.
