This meeting, led by Bengaluru Police Commissioner B Dayananda, underscored the commitment of the police to engage directly with the public, fostering a robust dialogue between law enforcement and the community.

The event provided a platform for residents to voice their concerns, with significant issues such as drug abuse, cybercrime, footpath encroachment, non-functioning CCTVs, potholes, and traffic woes taking center stage. These concerns were attentively noted by the police representatives, who assured attendees that these matters would be escalated to the relevant Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCPs), Assistant Commissioners of Police (ACPs), and Inspectors for prompt action.

In addition to addressing these issues, the public expressed a strong desire for increased police presence through more chowkis (police outposts) and the installation of Sky Walks to enhance pedestrian safety. The proactive approach of the BCP in acknowledging and responding to these requests was well received by the community.
