Director General of Police K Rajendra Kumar in his farewell speech asked the Jammu and Kashmir Police to continue working selflessly with zeal and zest for the people of the state.

He remembered the sacrifices made by the J&K Police while fighting the arms insurgency in the state and earning a place of one of the best police forces in the state.

Rajendra retired today from the police force after 35 years of illustrious career in which he held important posts in the J&K Police and spent two and a half years as the police chief of India’s most vulnerable state. A parade was organised to bid farewell to the DGP at Gulshan Ground, near Police Headquarters.

Remembering his early days, when after joining the IPS he was allotted the J&K cadre, Rajendra said, “I was not aware of the demography of the state but with the support of my colleagues and police force I was able to overcome the hurdles. This state became my home and love and affection which I have received here will remain with me forever.”

He said the J&K Police had made many sacrifices while fighting the arms insurgency and laid their lives for the integrity of the country. He asked the police force to continue working with professionalism and for the people of the state.

“Though the situation is calm and under control, you will have to remain alert so that anti-national elements don’t succeed in their nefarious designs,” he added.

He thanked Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti for her support to the Police Department. — TNS
