The New Year’s resolution for Noida’s district police this time seems to be shedding its bad image usually associated with rude behavior and use of rough language.

SSP Dr Ajaypal Sharma has given special instructions to the policemen deployed in the district to make all the efforts to improve the image of the police. “Instructions have been given to use a friendly approach when dealing with locals,” said an officer.

So next time, when a policeman addresses you with “hello bhaisahab,” “yes brother and “yes sir”. Don’t be surprised. As they have been told to stay away from their frequently used words like oye, tum and teri.

“In fact, the instructions were given even before the start of 2019 asking policemen to behave as friends of people using humble language. The move aims to start a friendly relationship between the locals and district police, which can later help in controlling crime rate,” added the officer.
