In his opening remarks, he urged officers and staff to make the most of the training and contribute to strengthening the implementation of the official language within the department.
Calling for wider usage of Hindi in daily administrative tasks, Meena encouraged police personnel to lead by example and help establish the department as a model in official language compliance.
