Sonamarg, Aug 26: The Greentech foundation Today honored Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kashmir range K Vijay Kumar with a certificate of fellowship.
“ Heroes in films are not real heroes but real heroes are amongst you”, Mr. Kumar told the audience at the National Meet on Safety and Energy organized by Greentech foundation at Sonamarg in the central Kashmir district of Ganderbal.
He said we use film Heros as brand ambassadors, but Real heroes are not Reel Heroes. Real Heroes are amongst people. We use celebrities as brand ambassadors to encourage people to wear helmets. Instead, we can pick up people among us, in the community, companies who are strictly adhering to safety norms, and they must be safety ambassadors instead of celebrities said Mr. Kumar.
Mr Kumar was the Chief Guest along with Mr. Dharam Pal, IAS, Advisor to Administrator, Chandigarh at the Awards Presentation Ceremony as part of two day National Meet on Safety and Energy currently underway.
He said Police and Doctors deal with human lives. A small mistake may take away lives. So safety is of utmost importance. Mistakes happen because of three reasons which include– Not having Standard Operating(SOOs) Practices, SOPs are in place but we don’t follow them and the third reason s avoiding SOPs intentionally. The SOPs must be updated from time to time, monitored and improved, added the top cop of Kashmir.
The ‘Chalta Hai’ attitude must go, IGP Kumar said. We must use both reward and punishment. The reward for doing good and punishment for doing bad must be used, he said(UNI)
