New Delhi, July 31

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today told trainee Indian Police Service (IPS) officers that they should make efforts to change the “negative image” of the police.

Addressing IPS probationers at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy via video-conferencing, Modi asked them to keep national interest in mind. “You would certainly be facing and encountering local problems, but to solve them you must keep the nation in mind,” he told the probationers.

He asked the young officers to remember that they were the flag bearers of ‘Ek Bharat, Shrestha Bharat”. “The spirit of ‘nation first, always first’ should always reflect in your action,” said the PM.
