Madhup Kumar Tiwari, IPS, Addl. Director General of Police, Kalighat Police Station under the North and Middle Andaman District has been ranked as the 6th best Police Station in India by Ministry of Home Affairs, GoI. The A&N Police has acquired a unique distinction of ranking best Police Station for three consecutive years in a row. In 2018, Campbell Bay and in 2019, Aberdeen Police Station were declared as best Police Station of the country. This amply reflects the overall quality of service delivery by the A&N Police. All this could have been possible due to proactive support of the Hon’ble LG and Chief Secretary of A&N Islands.
This indicates that while availability of resources is important but more important is dedication and sincerity of our Police Personnel to prevent and control crime and serve the community. A total of 19 parameters were identified to evaluate the standard of service delivery and technology of improvement in policing. The Police Station, situated in North Andaman Islands, faces its unique challenges being amongst the remotest police stations of the country in addition to having a large jurisdiction. Various proactive actions and special community oriented policing efforts coupled with welfare measures for the staff by the Police Department in a planned manner has led to this award of being adjudged as best Police Station in India.
This award brings both pride and responsibility to achieve greater success for the entire Andaman & Nicobar Police and the citizens of these Islands. The efforts made by Sub Inspector P. Jeevan, SHO PS Kalighat and SDPO Diglipur under the overall supervision & guidance of Sh. Vichitra Veer, IPS Superintendent of Police, North & Andaman District are appreciable in making this the 6th best Police Station in the country.
