He said a state wide campaign would soon be started to educate the people from driving sense and Road Safety measures. ADGP however ruled out any possibility of the revival of terrorism in the state and said that police is vigilantly monitoring the situation and no such elements would be allowed to act.

ADGP expressed his satisfaction on “Police Nafri” in the state saying more than 70,000 cops are sufficient to maintain normal law and order. When asked Railway Protection Force wanted executive powers from GRP,ADGP Sharma said it could only be decided by Union Government with the consent of state government. 

Sharma said that Punjab Police has good co-ordination with its neighboring states.
