Shri Rajnikant Somabhai Patel
Home Minister, Gujarat State
Gujarat has shown to the rest of the country that progressive thoughts, prudent planning, proactive governance and concrete actions definitely result in economic success with inclusive growth. The State has made significant reforms in critical areas including law and order. Maintaining law and order and protecting and safeguarding the lives and properties of citizens is the responsibility of our police force which they have been performing well. However, a need was felt to encourage and promote Community Policing so that incidents of crime can be reduced and crimes can be solved at a faster pace, with the help of the citizens. Towards this end, an integrated and one of its kind project, ‘Suraksha Setu’, has been initiated by the State Government. Under this project we aim to provide and undertake several community welfare activities resulting in a more responsible, progressive and crime-free society.
