After getting the jab, the DGP said the entire police force had worked continuously on the front line when the pandemic was at its peak.

"Besides maintaining law and order, each of our officers and jawans fearlessly ensured food for the poor and also ensured safe home return of migrant workers. During lockdown, the humane face of the police came to the fore," he said.
