Mohali, February 20

To check crime in an effective manner and bring the police and the public closer, new Senior Superintendent of Police of Mohali Harcharan Singh Bhullar has restarted public meetings in the district.

Bhullar said public help and cooperation were necessary to check crime at any place. “It’s our duty to tell the public about their duties for their own safety and to help check crime and criminals. So I have started public meetings here,” said Bhullar.

Such meetings used to be held a few years ago in the town by the then SSP, Gurpreet Singh Bhullar.

So far, SSP Harcharan Singh Bhullar has held three such public meetings. “First I held a public meeting at Dera Bassi and then at Kharar,” said SSP Bhullar, who held another such meeting at the Phase IX Industrial Area here today.

He said during such meetings, he asked the public to share their problems even if these were related to his staff. “I urged them to appoint watchmen in their areas to check crime, including vehicle thefts. My aim is to make Mohali drug-free and public cooperation is necessary to achieve this,” said Bhullar.

He said such meetings also helped in keeping a check on the behaviour of policemen with the public.
