Amarinder Singh directs DGP to work out scheme for rewarding cops

Chandigarh: Days after the Punjab police claimed to have busted terror modules and solved most targeted killing cases in the state, chief minister Capt. Amarinder Singh has asked the DGP to work out a scheme to give awards and rewards to those involved in solving the cases.

He also instructed the DGP to set up a system of selecting and rewarding “policeman of the month” to any personnel of the force who plays a remarkable role, either in solving criminal cases by investigations or providing community service of outstanding nature.

The chief minister, on Saturday night, hosted police personnel, across ranks, for a dinner at his residence here as a mark of appreciation for their efforts.
