Dear friends,
Please excuse my inability to communicate with you through the website for the last few weeks due to certain personal preoccupations.
I hope all of you had a very happy Christmas, with plenty of fun and laughter with your families.
Many of you may have noticed that these days, we have been arresting and taking action against a lot of goonda elements from several places. This is in spite of the fact that some of these anti-social elements have the support of influential persons! It is my impression that “Rowdy activities” have come down to a great extent; thereby small issues are being given undue importance in the media. This is but natural, whenever news is scarce. The police have been quite firm in controlling incidents of vehicle thefts in the District, as also incidents involving thefts from places of worship. Consequently, such criminal acts have also been successfully curtailed. I am sure that these actions by your police officers will contribute to a peaceful and enjoyable New Year for all.
I am sure that many of you will agree with me when I say that incidents of drunken driving and brawls can be reduced drastically, provided that people themselves resolve to control alcohol intake at social events. I believe that firm resolve and resolute action against offenders supported by an alert public will enable this to be achieved. For this, public awareness of such social evils needs to be raised.
At the fag end of 2002, let us all resolve to begin the new Year of 2003 with a firm resolve to reduce drunkenness and also develop a sense of equanimity, allowing others to live their lives peacefully. Let us also take care to ensure that we do not interfere in the lives of others unnecessarily. Remember that it takes two hands to clap and make noise. At the beginning of the New Year, let us all take a resolution to do our part towards reducing social unrest and to help to spread peace and harmony in society.
I wish all of you a Very Happy New Year and extend my sincere greetings to each one of you.
