Judge Kadlur hails service of police personnel
Police Commemoration Day observation at Mangaluru
Mangaluru, October 21: Principal district and sessions court judge Kadlur Satyanaranayacharya hailed the role of police personnel in maintaining the internal security in the society.
Speaking at the Police Commemoration Day programme here on Sunday, the judge said that in the last year, 414 police personnel, officers and staff have lost their precious lives while serving the society in the country. Their service is ensuring the security and safety in the society is commendable. They were on duty for round-the-clock. If the people have been sleeping peacefully, it was because of the efforts of the police. If there was no police force in the society, the anti-social elements would have been ruling the roost in the society, he said.
Last year, two rowdy sheeters, with weapons, have tried to abduct a person in Gulbarga. But at that time, the police, without any weapons, had arrested the rowdy sheeters risking their lives. The police would not use their weapons as and when they want. The police have been working under mental and physical pressure. People should understand the working nature of the police department and cooperative with them to ensure law and order situation in the society, he said.
SP Dr. B.R. Ravikanthe Gowda listed out the martyr police personnel on the occasion. Deputy Commissioner Sasikanth Senthil, Police Commissioner T.R. Suresh, Judge Mallanna Gowda, Law and Order Division DCP Hanumantharaya, ACP Manjunath Shetty and others paid homage to the martyrs on the occasion.
