A total of 1,715 newly-recruited unarmed constables of the Assam Police, including 535 women, passed out of the Lachit Borphukan Police Academy on Thursday, making it the largest batch in the state's history, officials said.

This 178th batch of the Assam Police is the first batch of the academy, which was upgraded from the earlier Police Training College that was set up in 1947, they said.

Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and Director-General of Police (DGP) GP Singh took the salute from the new recruits at the passing out parade at the academy's campus in Dergaon in Golaghat district.

"You will face a lot of challenges in duty. With courage, integrity, honesty and accountability, you will have to serve the people and the nation," Sarma told the new recruits.

He said that at times, the distance between people and police grows due to misuse of the uniform, leading to hatred towards the force in the minds of the common man.
