Addressing the passing out parade of basic course batches 79 and 80 at the Recruitment Training Center (RTC) Bhondsi here, Khattar said separate Haryana Police Rules would soon be enacted, as presently the Haryana Police are functioning as per Punjab Police Rules, 1934.
He also said Yoga would be made a part of police constables' training for keeping them physical and mentally fit, he said.
The chief minister directed the police to behave in friendly manner with the general public, saying that it would help in making the state free from drug menace and corruption.
