The weekly parade at the Old CAR Grounds is more than just a display of discipline; it is a critical touchpoint for the department’s internal health.
Commissioner N. Shashi Kumar, known for his proactive and “ground-level” leadership in the twin cities, uses these sessions to bridge the gap between senior leadership and the constabulary.
Key Highlights of Today’s Interaction:
Personnel Grievances: The Commissioner spent significant time listening to the personal and professional challenges faced by the staff, ranging from health concerns to duty-hour stresses.
Strategic Guidance: With Hubballi being a major commercial hub, the Commissioner issued fresh directives on maintaining vigilance in crowded areas and improving the response time for emergency calls.
Morale Boosting: By personally receiving the guard of honor and interacting with the rank and file, the top brass aims to instill a sense of pride and accountability within the force.
The Role of Senior Leadership
The presence of Shri Mahaninga Nandagavi, IPS (DCP Law & Order) and Shri Ravish C.R., KSPS (DCP Crime & Traffic) signaled a unified front in the city’s administration. Their participation ensures that the feedback received at the parade ground is translated into immediate administrative action at the station level.
