He was addressing a rally after inaugurating Police Memorial Day celebrations in Yadgir on Tuesday.
Police officers have to face many challenges while on duty and serving the people. “You must take instructions from your superior officers and extend service accordingly. Apart from public service, you must give time to your family members to balance duty and personal life,” he said.
He prayed for the martyred police officers and personnel and said the sacrifices of such brave people will always be remembered. He appealed to the department personnel not to embarrass senior officers as well as the department by misbehaving on duty.

Deputy Commissioner Harshal Bhoyar and CEO Lavish Ordia also spoke.
The police personnel fired three shots in the air to honor the brave police personnel and army jawans.
