The Phone-in Programme was a platform for the people to contact the police directly, share their problems and find the solution”.

I would like to thank all my colleagues, police officers and all the officers in the police department, Media friends and the lovely people of Mangaluru for supporting me to discharge my duties with transparency and integrity.
