Lieutenant-Governor Najeeb Jung today asked Delhi police personnel to be on their toes as the road ahead is "very tough" and people have high expectations from them.
"Your training is more sensitive and serious because you have greater responsibilities today. Media and society is more aware, the population has escalated and that is why there are more expectations from you...You have to be on your toes because the road ahead is very tough," he said.
Jung was speaking at the passing out parade of recruit constables here.
"Today we talk of gender sensitivity, good behaviour and better investigation. You should be efficient in technology, forensics and computer applications," he said.
In his first public function after joining office, Jung said, "You are not a common man today, when you wear this uniform you have no caste, no religion."
"You don't belong to Delhi, Uttar Pradesh or Bihar but you are an Indian citizen. You have pledged to safeguard the constitution and once you wear this uniform you should have to fulfil this pledge," he said.
