Chandigarh SSP addresses residents’ concerns

A public-police meeting was held at Ramgarhia Bhawan in Sector 27 here today. City SSP Kanwardeep Kaur heard the grievances of residents of areas under the jurisdiction of the Sector 26, 19 and Industrial Area police stations.

The session witnessed a large turnout. The residents raised their concerns, offered suggestions and expressed appreciation for the police outreach programme.

The SSP heard their grievances related to several civic and security issues, including the need for increased patrolling, illegal and haphazard parking — particularly on road berms and market areas, rising instances of cybercrime and the growing involvement of juveniles in criminal activities. They also stressed the importance of regular interactions between the police and senior citizens to foster a sense of safety and inclusion.

Also present at the meeting were officiating SDPO (East) Vijay Kumar and the respective SHOs. The officers assured the residents that efforts would be made to resolve their concerns promptly and effectively.

The session ended on a warm note when a senior citizen thanked his local beat officer for personally driving him to the venue, highlighting the humane side of policing that the force aims to strengthen through such initiatives.

They lauded the SSP for facilitating this open dialogue, which strengthens trust and transparency between the community and the police.
