You can be strict but don't misbehave:Omar tells forces

December 22, 2013 18:11

Asking security forces to ensure that human rights of people are respected, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today advised them to differentiate between strictness and misbehaviour while discharging their duties.

Praising the forces for working in difficult conditions here and assuring them full support for maintaining peace, the chief minister said the situation in the state has improved a lot but stressed that there is a lot to achieve before normalcy can return.

"Treat this as a message or an advice, but during discharging your duties, differentiate between strictness and misbehaviour. I often tell my police officers that sometimes when I see the behaviour of policemen with the people, I see that they want to be strict but end up misbehaving with them," Omar said.
