Pune: Policing led by intelligence and backed by technology would top the agenda of Amitabh Gupta, who would take charge as commissioner of police, Pune, on Sunday.
Gupta, a 1992 batch IPS officer, told TOI on Saturday over the phone, “Instilling a sense of security among citizens and fear among criminals will be my priority. I shall also give priority to maintaining law and order, prevention and detection of crime, besides focusing on other important aspects.”
He said, “I shall consult my officers and chalk out a plan on what needs to be done for the public and the police welfare after taking charge from the outgoing police commissioner K Venkatesham.”
Venkatesham will take charge as additional director-general of police (special operations) in Mumbai next week.
