Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has instructed the Nepal Police that takes the major responsibility for maintaining law and order in the country to always remain alert for the prevention of untoward incidents. 

The Prime Minister wanted the Nepal Police to make a prognosis of offences, investigate them and take maximum measures for the prevention.

Inaugurating the newly constructed building of the District Police Range Kathmandu at Bhadrakali of Kathmandu Metropolis-11 on Monday, the Prime Minister instructed the police personnel to remain highly alert to potential forces unleashing instability and anarchy, and to deliver with the dedication to the interest of citizens.

“The present government will not tell the Nepal Police not to arrest any criminals, any accused and ask for framing the innocents,” Oli said, adding that the incumbent government was formed with the sentiments for delivering something for the cause of the nation and people.

As he said, the Nepal Police is expected to serve the citizens at its best level and abiding by the Constitution and law.

The Prime Minister of the coalition government said the government wishes to promote stability in the country. He also assured that no employee in the police institution has to seek undue favor from anyone else for promotion and transfer. “This government does not entertain undue approach and influence,” he said, urging police personnel to deliver confidently.

The building was constructed at a cost of Rs 1.26 billion and the Nepal Police purchased 15 ropanis (one ropani is equivalent to 5476 sq feet) of land owned by the then Nepal Food Corporation at a cost of Rs 1.10 billion to build the advanced building for the Range that first started its service in 2012 BS from Hanumandhoka.
