Haryana DGP Launches Night Patrols, 'Man-to-Man' Tracking and Rapid Station Upgrades

Singh pairs citizen-focused station changes with tougher oversight to push visible safety across districts.

Overview

  • After a late-night inspection on the PanchkulaYamunanagar route, Singh flagged gaps such as only one alert PCR in 50 km, no naka presence at tolls and missing diversion signage, and ordered SPs/CPs to replicate patrols and file fixes by 11 am.
  • He unveiled a 'man-to-man marking' plan assigning teams of four to five officers per active criminal, directed daily SP group chats with CIA in-charges and SHOs to forecast likely offenders, and told SHOs to conduct morning field rounds on habitual suspects.
  • He advanced culture reforms to humanise police stations, including visitor lounges, Metro-style wayfinding and trained volunteers, with reassignment and retraining for officers lacking people skills and a one-week, three-step response timeline for complaints.
  • He instructed the Haryana Police Housing Corporation to upgrade all stations and posts within two weeks—covering kitchens, washrooms, wiring and safety—while improving living and working conditions and promoting courteous public interaction and social media vigilance.
  • He warned that attacks on police will draw an immediate, appropriate response, said indiscipline will not be tolerated, ordered prompt support for martyr families, and pledged added personnel after a 2,000-constable passing-out parade.
