Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh today directed the state police to immediately withdraw personnel from "non-essential" duties and deploy them on "streets" for the security of people.

In a bid to streamline the system's functioning and promote welfare of personnel, the state government also asked the Commission of Police and Senior Superintendents of Police to carry out a manpower audit.

Addressing administrative and police officers in Chandigarh, the Chief Minister said his government had decided to implement "sweeping" police reforms, in-line with the Supreme Court's directives and the promises made in the Congress's poll manifesto.
