CHANDIGARH,10.09.21-A CII delegation led by Rajiv Sajdeh, Chairman, CII Amritsar Zone and Chief Executive Officer, Tex & Twist, and Karan Verma, Vice Chairman, CII Amritsar Zone and Director, Aar Vee Group, met Commissioner of Police, Amritsar to discuss various issues confronting the city. CII has suggested strengthening policing and surveillance in the city and particularly in the industrial areas and zones.

During the meeting Sh. Vikram Jeet Duggal, Commissioner of Police, Amritsar, Ms D Sudarvizhi, Joint Commissioner of Police, Amritsar, Sh. Parminder Singh Bhandal, DCP, Law & Order, Amritsar, along with ADCP of various zones and high-level officers were present.

Sh. Vikram Jeet Duggal, shared that currently they are focusing on upgrading the surveillance system by linking the cameras in the industrial areas/zones, residential areas and local market with Central Police Command and using drones to better monitor the entire city. “Regular patrolling would be undertaken in the industrial area/zones to curb crimes during shift changes and paydays. For providing security to the rural population, we would be involving the Amritsar Rural Police. This would help in promoting and assisting the industry located in the rural areas of the city, he added. “Considering that Amritsar being an industrial town with large migrant population of Punjab, the city has its own set of challenges and to overcome these we are launching an App for the verification of migrant labourers. This would help in further enhancing the security measures in the city.”

Rajiv Sajdeh, said, “This is a welcome move and CII would be extending all possible support and would be assisting the Police Commissionerate in the process of upgradation. Our objective of the meeting is primarily to apprise the officials on some of the challenges pertaining to the security and law & order faced by industry and common citizens, besides exploring areas where CII and the local police authorities can work together.”

Karan Verma, said, “The Police and the industry should work together on security issues. There are no two thoughts about the fact that a proactive and stimulating attitude, both from industry and the local police administration, could help in better law enforcement and instilling a sense of discipline among citizens.”

Prominent CII industry members from Amritsar were also present in the meeting.
