FAREWELL PARADE OF SHRI A.K. VERMA, IPS, DGP MIZORAM A farewell parade was given to Shri A.K. Verma, IPS, DGP Mizoram on

23.09.2013 on his transfer from Mizoram to Delhi Police.

Dear Colleagues,

It gives me great pleasure to present this second issue of the Mizoram Police Newsletter. I am sure it will bring pride and be useful to the members of Police as well as public.

Mizoram police has achieved many milestones recently. The Mizoram Assembly Elections 2013 was conducted peacefully due to the efforts made by the members of entire police force. PHQ Mizoram issued well planned election arrangement for polling including the deployment of 31 Companies of Central Armed Police Force in 8 districts.

The law & order, crime and traffic situation has remained well under control. Huge hauls of illegal arms and ammunition as well as various drugs were made by the Mizoram Police during this period.

Proposals have been sent for creating new infrastructure in the police department under 14th Finance Commission. The CCTNS project has made exemplary progress and training of police personnel has been taken up in right earnest.

As regards the challenges ahead, the international porous border with Myanmar & Bangladesh is vulnerable to use by insurgent groups for smuggling of contraband goods and illicit drugs. Special Branch and CID must strive hard to provide timely and accurate information for prevention as well as detection. Mizoram Police also needs to develop counter-insurgency capabilities along with professionalism at all levels.

I convey my heartiest good wishes to the Editorial board of this Newsletter for making tremendous efforts in bringing out this issue of the Mizoram Police Newsletter.
