Haryana police mandate constables to surrender phones before starting duty to ensure focus, discipline

CHANDIGARH: Apprehending laxity in discharge of duty by the police personnel who reportedly remained glued to their mobile phones, the Haryana Police constables will now be required to submit their mobile phones and other electronic devices before starting their shifts.

This measure will be enforced at all police stations, police posts, and police lines.

They can communicate with family members only via the cell phone of their in-charge. For official communication, the police wireless system would be used, said sources.
