"To deal with changing nature of crimes, our force should quickly adapt to emerging technologies. I'm glad that Assam Police have over the past few months made good progress in providing a citizen friendly atmosphere and at the same time coming down heavily on criminals. By gradually coming out of 'PSO culture' and recruiting sufficient manpower, we should create an atmosphere of security where ideally nobody needs a PSO in next 2-3 years," said the Chief Minister.
