Nagaland CM Rio urges police to uphold pride, integrity and unity

Nagaland CM Neiphiu Rio inaugurates new police officers' mess, urging the force to serve with renewed dedication, integrity, and unity for the state's pride.

"Move forward with unity, integrity and unwavering dedication while serving the government and the people. - Nagaland CM Neiphiu Rio"

Kohima, Dec 12

Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio on Friday urged police to bring greater pride, honour, and laurels to the state.

Move forward with unity, integrity and unwavering dedication while serving the government and the people, he said, requesting the police officials to continue their journey of service with renewed vigour, discipline, and determination.

Inaugurating the Nagaland Police officers’ mess at the New Police Reserve in Phesema here, Rio said this new facility will be a reminder of the trust placed upon the police officers and will serve as an inspiration to strive for excellence in every duty they undertake.

He also thanked Deputy Chief Minister Yanthungo Patton, who holds the Home portfolio, for his initiative in taking the responsibility to construct the police officers’ mess.

The Chief Minister said that the old officers’ mess (Hill type) was constructed in 1981, and had served generations of officers faithfully for 42 long years.

Recognising the deteriorating structure, the government took a timely and visionary decision to dismantle the old structure and construct a new three-storied RCC building at the New Reserve, Phesema, in an initiative aimed at providing the police officers with dignity, comfort and facilities they truly deserve, Rio said.

He informed that with the initiative of the state government, funds for this project were graciously sanctioned by the Central government under Part-1 of the Special Assistance to States for capital investment (SASCI) 203-24.

Chief Engineer, Police Project, K.Imnajungba Jamir said that the total project cost of the Nagaland Police officers’ mess stands at Rs 7.02 crore, funded under SASCI, which was sanctioned part-wise.

In his address, Director General of Police Rupin Sharma informed the gathering that the pending pension cases of retiring police personnel will be gradually resolved, with the department targeting the settlement of 91 per cent of these cases within the next six months.

Good to see infrastructure development in the North-East. The focus on resolving pending pensions is crucial too. Our jawans and officers deserve financial security after retirement. Hope this promise is kept on time.

Rs 7.02 crore for an officers' mess? While I appreciate the need for good facilities, I hope this investment translates into better policing on the ground for the common people. The real "pride and honour" will come from public trust and efficient service.

As someone who has visited Nagaland, the sense of community and respect for service is palpable. Upgrading a 42-year-old building is a practical step. The emphasis on unity and integrity from the leadership is always welcome.

Well said, CM Rio! Police are the backbone of civil society. When they are motivated and well-equipped, it benefits everyone. Hope this new mess becomes a hub for positive interaction and professional growth.

The partnership between state and centre for funding such projects is good to see. Development in all states, especially in the North-East, strengthens the entire nation. Jai Hind!
