HYDERABAD: Director General of Police Sri Anjani Kumar, IPS, on Thursday said that working in adverse and challenging circumstances would bring out the best in everyone.

Speaking after felicitating 38 police officers, who got President’s Police Medal for Gallantry (PPMG), President Police Medal (PPM) and Police Medal for Meritorious Service on the eve of Independence Day on 15th August, along with five other officers, who got Union Home Minister’s medal for excellence in investigation, he said working in adverse and challenging situation was a mandate for the police department.

 The Greyhounds, SIB and CI Cell, are flag bearers of professional excellence in the entire India. Most States having problems were inspired by these three organizations and took training, guidance and support from them.
