Chandigarh, June 10 (UNI) In a move aimed at strengthening citizen-centric and technology-driven policing in Punjab, Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav on Wednesday launched the revamped Saanjh Citizen Portal and flagged off a fleet of 93 electric scooters for women police personnel at the Maharaja Ranjit Singh Punjab Police Academy in Phillaur.
