Chandigarh (National Times): Haryana Director General of Police (DGP) Sh. Shatrujeet Kapur held an important meeting with senior officials late in the evening, during which he issued directions to enhance the operational efficiency of Emergency Response Vehicles (ERVs). He stated that the ERV represents the ‘face’ of Haryana Police, and its primary responsibility is to respond promptly and act effectively upon receiving information about any incident. It was informed in the meeting that approximately 4000 police personnel are deployed on ERVs across the state.
Sh. Kapur directed that Superintendents of Police should ensure an audit of ERV operations so that existing gaps in the system can be addressed, and accountability of concerned police personnel can be fixed.
Audit of ERV Functioning; Directions to Seek Technical Assistance from C-DAC
DGP Sh. Kapur emphasized that a technical audit of ERV operations is necessary and suggested that technical support may be sought from the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC). He instructed senior officers to regularly inspect ERVs and assess key metrics such as response time, time of arrival at the incident spot, and the subsequent action taken.
- Instructions to Improve Control Room Response Time; Emphasis on Immediate Implementation of Sealing Plans
DGP directed that upon receipt of information at the control room, the concerned officer must immediately prepare a sealing plan and share it with local police stations and interstate check posts. The quicker this action, the higher the chances of apprehending the accused. He stressed that incidents of criminals escaping due to communication gaps must not occur. - Identification of 4,900 Notorious Elements; Strict Action Directed
Haryana Police has prepared a list of approximately 4,900 active notorious elements in the state. Sh. Kapur issued clear instructions that strict legal action must be taken under a policy of zero tolerance against such offenders. Anyone exploiting the public, issuing threats, or engaging in illegal extortion must face stringent legal consequences. - Directive to Implement Drug De-addiction Model Across All Districts
Appreciating the drug de-addiction model implemented in Hisar Range, the DGP instructed that similar models be replicated in other districts. A dedicated officer should be appointed in each district to form a team of 5–6 members. This police team should conduct door-to-door surveys to identify individuals affected by substance abuse and motivate them toward treatment and rehabilitation. - Police to Maintain Vigilance During Liquor Vend Auction Process Conducted by Excise & Taxation Department Commissioner and Secretary of the Excise & Taxation Department, Ms. Ashima Brar, also participated in the meeting. She mentioned that liquor vend auctions will be conducted over the next month, and heightened vigilance is needed in four districts—Bhiwani, Hisar, Rohtak, and Yamunanagar.
To ensure fearless participation by contractors in the auction, DGP Sh. Kapur directed all district police chiefs to build a sense of trust among vendors and conduct regular blockades and intensive surveillance drives. He instructed coordination with the Excise Department to develop an effective plan and to keep a close watch on miscreants throughout the auction process, which will continue till June 30.

The Director General of Police affirmed that Haryana Police remains fully committed to maintaining law and order in the state and ensuring the safety of its citizens. Whether it’s the deployment of ERVs, strategic planning of control rooms, or execution of drug de-addiction campaigns—Haryana Police is diligently and efficiently discharging its responsibilities in public interest.
