"The police do a lot of hard work but still some people criticise them. I would request the police personnel not to get disheartened by the criticism," Banerjee said.
"I salute the police personnel for their hard work and I am also proud of them," she said while giving away the prize to the winners of the All India Police Football Championship at Barrackpore in North 24 Parganas district.
38 police football teams of different states and paramilitary forces participated in the meet which was won by BSF who defeated SSB.
