We won as many as 108 national awards this year, says Gautam Sawang
Police booked as many as 1.94 lakh cases in the State during 2020, and 1,551 cyberbullying sheets were opened against those who were harassing women through different apps, according to Director-General of Police (DGP) D. Gautam Sawang.
“Despite several challenges in 2020, the AP Police has surged ahead by facing COVID-19, which was never seen. Though there was no SOP and unaware of the roots of coronavirus, police worked hard and there were 109 COVID martyrs in Police Department. Change and transformation is the hallmark of the police who won 108 national awards this year which was a feather in the cap of the State police,” Mr. Sawang said while giving the crime data and the highlights of the Police Department at a press conference at the AP Police Headquarters on Wednesday.
