Chief Minister of Karnali Province Yamlal Kandel has said that despite the limited means and resources, he is happy to see the efficiency of the Nepal Police.
Speaking at the state-level crime investigation review conference that started in Birendranagar, Kandel said that the rights-oriented concept has been developed due to the increased expectations and ambitions of the citizens towards the state system after the political change.
'With this increase in awareness and rights in the society, citizen participation and monitoring in the process of criminal investigation, prosecution and justice has also increased,' he said, 'Recently, the types and number of crimes have increased. As the nature and trends of crimes have changed, the responsibility of the police to base criminal investigations and prosecutions on scientific and objective evidence has increased. This is also the main responsibility of the Nepal Police and the organization should take it as an opportunity.' According to him, there will be a greater need for cooperation between related agencies to improve the criminal law after a careful survey of the nature of
crime. He said, "Not only with your courage and dedication, but also with your ethics and honesty, a big change is possible in our society."
Similarly, Additional Inspector General of Police Kuveer Kathayat said that digital crime has increased in recent times. "Only the police can't do anything," he said, "Unless the citizens of the society are competent, the citizens are not active, and the incidents of crime will increase." Speaking at the opening session of the
symposium, Chief Justice of Surkhet High Court Krishnalal Bhattarai said that although there is an adequate mechanism to investigate crimes in Nepal, it has not been effective due to the interference during the investigation. He said that the methodology should also be strengthened to make the research effective. Police officers from all 10 districts are participating in the
conference. It is said that the conference will focus on the security challenges of the province and the strategic issues that need to be tackled.
