In Himachal Pradesh, the Director General of Police (DGP) oversees law enforcement activities in a state known for its scenic beauty and tourism but also faces challenges related to drug trafficking, rural crime, and maintaining peace in border areas. The DGP is responsible for ensuring public safety during the tourist season, preventing illegal activities in remote regions, and addressing rising concerns about organized crime.
The DGP also emphasizes modernizing police equipment, expanding intelligence networks, and improving disaster management capabilities, especially in the event of natural disasters such as floods or landslides. The leadership of the DGP is vital in improving the police force’s coordination with local communities, ensuring a peaceful environment in the state.
