Any police person with an unresolved grievance can appear and share his or her problem. The 'Open House' will also act as a feedback mechanism on the issues faced by members of the service.
For many of the staff who attended the Open House, it was an emotional moment to directly get connected with the Commissioner of Police, face to face across the table. Visibly elated, some said they were meeting the commissioner for the first time in such a manner in their entire service career.
Romil Baniya, Additional CP, CP Secretariat, Deepak Purohit, Additional CP/GA and MI Haider, DCP and establishment assisted the CP during the conduct of the 'Open House'.
