Nepal Police Chief Emphasizes Commitment to Public Service During Building Inauguration

Kathmandu. Inspector General of Police Dan Bahadur Karki has clarified that serving the citizens is the primary duty of the police force.

He stated that the police organization is dedicated to public service and that ensuring the safety of citizens remains the top priority under any circumstances. While addressing the inauguration ceremony of the reconstructed Traffic Police Circle office building at New Bus Park in Kathmandu today, Inspector General Karki informed that the building, which was damaged by arson during the Gen-Z protests on Bhadra 23 and 24, was rebuilt with the support of the citizens.

Inspector General Karki said that the police are working continuously to ensure that a person who leaves home safely can return home safely in the evening. "We are servants of the citizens; providing necessary support and services to the citizens at any time is our duty," he said, "We are working day and night accordingly."

Recalling that the police residential structures were burned during the protests, he expressed his gratitude for the support received from the public level for its reconstruction. "The living quarters of police officers, who became tanned by the sun while serving the citizens, were burned down, but with the support of the citizens, we have received a home again," he said emotionally, "Citizens have supported us from homes to palaces; there is no greater happiness than this."

The program saw a notable presence of high-ranking police officials, local representatives, representatives of various organizations, media personnel, and local social workers. During the program, Inspector General Karki presented letters of appreciation and commendation to various individuals who contributed to the construction of the building.
