In a major initiative to improve law and order in the state, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today joined hands by handing over 618 new vehicles to the Bihar Police. The vehicles comprise 520 four-wheelers and 98 two-wheelers which would improve the operational capability and mobility of the police force in the state.
The handover ceremony was attended by Deputy Chief Ministers Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha. While speaking at the event, CM Nitish Kumar once again reiterated the state government’s focus on people’s safety, stating that the police are being equipped with modern resources and machines so that they can create a better atmosphere for the people of Bihar.
