Mangalore, November 1: The first Commissioner of Mangalore City Police Seemant Kumar Singh, who was recently transferred after two-and-half-year of service, was felicitated and bid farewell by the Commissionerate, here, on Wednesday.
42-year-old Mr Singh had served as the Commissioner of newly established Mangalore Commissionerate from April 30, 2010 to September 2012.
Responding to the felicitation, Mr Singh said that he had worked with devotion as a Commissioner and was satisfied with his stint as the top cop of coastal city.
Appreciating the cooperation by his subordinates, Mr Singh said that all the achievements during his tenure were the result of teamwork. The writing work and intelligence power of the personnel here is incomparable to that of any other in the state. Such positive energy should be channeled into productive work to achieve better things, he said.
Speaking on future requirements in the city, he said that more control rooms had to be set up. The problem of man-power also will be solved soon with the arrival of additional 200 personnel, he said.
In his presidential address, Inspector General of Police (Western Range) Pratap Reddy said that there was no factor of luck while dealing with law and order. The region of Mangalore and Dakshina Kannada is very sensitive in such issues and Mr Singh has understood that. There was never a time or occasion when the response from the police team was not good, he said, lauding their efforts.
He said that Mr Singh was very systematic in his work and was an able leader, who had a vision.
The incumbent city police Commissioner Manish Kharbikar said that it was good to have had a predecessor like Mr Singh, who was friendly. “From the very beginning, the relation between us was cordial. With the help of all the officers in the department, I shall continue the work he has done,” he said.
ACP Jagannath and Gurudath Kamath also spoke on the occasion. Mr Jagannath said that Mr Singh was a man of many qualities, who had guided the team of police officers efficiently. He lent moral support to officers during tough times, he said.
DCP (Law & Order) Mutturaya welcomed the gathering, while DCP (Crime & Traffic) D Dharmaiah proposed a vote of thanks.
