New Delhi, Feb 16 (IANS) Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday appreciated the Delhi Police for nabbing Junaid, wanted in several terror cases but at large for over a decade, and also stressed the need for using the latest technology for crime detection.

He also lauded the force’s community policing and Intelligent Traffic Management System initiatives.

The Minister said since forensics are crucial in crime investigation, the government is adding more forensic laboratories in the national capital. Besides, he said the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS) will soon become fully operational, giving police forces an edge.

Noting as Delhi is the capital of the country, Delhi Police is looked up to by the entire nation, he said: “Therefore, people from across the country have a lot of expectations from the Delhi Police. This requires Delhi Police to put extra effort and they need to be extra alert and cautious.”

Citing the example of how police in Bogota, capital of South America’s Columbia, once known as the murder capital, brought a turn around and made the city safe, Rajnath Singh said with effective strategy crime graph can be checked almost 70 per cent even in metros, like Delhi and Mumbai.
