Most IPS officers failed to meet expectations,says Nikhil Kumar

Asking BPRD Director General Vikram Srivastava to conduct a study on improving both the IPS and police services,Kumar said,“The fact (is) that the constable doesn’t get his due either from the government or from the public.

If that happens,if the constable is in position to hold his own against the people of that area,he has self respect,then I think we will be taking a big step towards improving police leadership.”
