New Delhi, Oct 15 (Reporter) Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday called upon the young police officers to focus on the safety of citizens and the protection of their rights. Interacting with the probationers of the 2023 batch of the Indian Police Service (IPS) here, Shah said, "When people remember your good works even after you leave the district, that is the biggest medal." He said the trainee IPS officers should contemplate and reflect on the time when they have become IPS officers. They should contemplate because the batch that will emerge as IPS officers this time will have a bigger responsibility than the previous 75 batches. The trainee officers should reflect because it is completely up to them and the batches coming after them whether the country will change the scale and enter the next generation of policing or not. He said, "We have done a lot to provide tight security to our borders and the rest is being done. Earlier Jammu & Kashmir, North East and Left Wing Extremism affected areas were the three sores, but now we have succeeded in reducing violence by 70% in these three places. Today Indian agencies have complete dominance in these three hotspots". The Home Minister said now the time has come for the police system to come forward to protect the fundamental rights of citizens. He said the police system should be alert to minimise the crimes happening within the borders of the country and "the time has come for us to be able to give justice to the citizens in the shortest possible time." He said the nation's security does not mean only the security of the border. The nation is made up of its citizens. "The security of the citizen is the basis of the security of the nation," he added.. Shah said today through Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & Systems (CCTNS), 99% of the police stations of the country have become online, online data has been generated and radical changes have been made in many provisions through three new laws. In the new laws, emphasis has been laid on timely justice, increasing the proofs of conviction and maximum use of technology. "Because we have made scientific evidence mandatory, the prosecution need not produce multiple witnesses, and now guilt can be proved based on scientific evidences," he added. He said, "When we talk about security, it is not limited to the security of life and property, but the security of the rights given to the citizens by our Constitution also comes under it. The Constitution has given equal rights to the poorest of the poor as are enjoyed even by the Prime Minister of the country, and police officers have a lot of responsibility to protect their rights." He said "After 75 years, the time has come for us to focus on our core work. Now is the time to protect the rights of citizens and make efforts to prevent atrocities against them." The Union Home Minister said protecting the rights of the poor, children and women are of prime importance...////...
