He also warned police officers of action if they fail to stop illegal activities. While chairing a meeting of Inspectors General of Police (IGP) and Superintendents of Police (SP) at the police headquarters in Nava Raipur, the Chief Minister said that if the SPs do not curb crimes in their respective districts, they will have to face strict departmental action.

What did CM Vishnu Dev say?
He said that criminals should fear the police, while the general public should have respect for them as they have for the army. The Chief Minister said that the police should be strict towards criminals and should adopt a soft approach while being polite towards the general public. Sai said that evils like illicit liquor trade, gambling and betting have adverse effects on the society and it is a matter of concern that the youth are affected by these. While instructing the officials, the Chief Minister said that if criminal activities are not stopped, action will be taken against the SP and police station level officials of the concerned district.
