In line with Punjab Police’s commitment to technology-driven policing, Amritsar has become the fourth city in the state to implement the automated e-Challan system, Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav announced during his visit to the holy city on Saturday.

“Our focus remains on enhancing public safety and security by proactively upgrading policing infrastructure and embracing technological advancements,” he said.

To further strengthen camaraderie and esprit de corps within the force, the DGP joined officers and personnel of all ranks at a ‘Bada Khana’, sharing a meal and interacting extensively with them.

The gathering was attended by representatives of the Indian Army, Indian Air Force, BSF, judiciary and civil administration, including the District and Sessions Judge, Deputy Commissioner, Deputy General Officer Commanding, and senior officers from the Air Force and BSF.

During the event, the DGP listened to the experiences and feedback of police personnel and acknowledged their dedication, sacrifices and commitment to duty.
