           It is surprising that the illegal businesses of country liquor, foreign liquor, and gambling operating in Mauja Shankarpur, Jambhulghat, Mahagaon, Neri, Masal, and Khadsangi beats within Chimur taluka, and the gambling dens and betting places operating in Bhisi and Chimur, are not visible to the police officers and personnel of Bhisi and Chimur!

             Due to the irresponsible actions and negligence of the Chimur-Bhisi police, the illegal businesses operating everywhere and the increasing number of illegal businesses in the Chimur Police Station and Bhisi Police Station limits are making women, men, and students feel unsafe, destroying their lives, and ruining their present and future.

           Despite this, the fact that the officers and police of both police stations are ignoring these illegal businesses means that they are making a mockery of their own duties and credibility.

             Similarly, if the police department is forgetting its own impartiality and capabilities and striving to protect illegal businesses, then they should remember their motto, confidentiality, and oath ten times a day.

            If illegal businesses are receiving encouragement and support under the protection of the police department in Chimur taluka, then what is the use of such a police department? This question is being asked by both men and women…

            The appointments of police officers and police personnel are for curbing illegal businesses, ensuring the safety of the people, maintaining peace, and preventing crime. Therefore, they should ask themselves how illegal businesses are operating in their jurisdiction. The main duties of the police include enforcing the law, maintaining public peace and order, preventing and investigating crime, protecting the lives and property of citizens, apprehending criminals, registering crimes, and collecting evidence.

          Similarly, the primary duties of the police also include maintaining law and order, preserving peace in public places, preventing crime, and stopping anti-social activities.

             Their duties also include ensuring the safety of citizens, improving people’s lives, and protecting their freedom and property. But is it appropriate to ignore illegal businesses while neglecting the interests and safety of citizens? Shouldn’t the local police consider this?

             Along with this, collecting intelligence information, gathering information about matters that could disrupt public peace, and taking preventive action are the primary duties of the police.

            The police are public servants appointed to serve the people, and they are known for working with loyalty to the constitution and the law. Therefore, the people of Chimur taluka believe that the officers of Bhisi and Chimur police stations should shut down all types of illegal businesses in Chimur taluka…

            Police officers have four main responsibilities. These primarily include enforcing the law and preventing crime.

            The main duty of the police is to prevent crime and disorder, so why do they neglect both of these aspects? This question arises.

         The important principles of policing are: 1) Selflessness, 2) Integrity, 3) Objectivity, 4) Accountability, 5) Openness, 6) Honesty, and effective leadership. When the code of ethics was written for the police, two more principles were added to it: impartial conduct and fulfilling one’s duty, and respecting everyone.

            The police should always maintain polite and good conduct, they should be trustworthy and impartial, they should possess integrity and courage, and they should protect people’s character and cultivate their trust.

           The highest level of integrity is the fundamental basis of the police’s reputation. Given this, what can be said when police officers and personnel forget their own highest standards of integrity?
