Self-reliance, use of technology, health competition: Delhi Police chief outlines 3 focus areas on I-Day
Delhi Police Commissioner S B K Singh Friday, urged the force to strive for self-reliance, the use of technology and healthy competition. During the Independence Day celebrations at the Delhi Police headquarters, the police chief, while addressing the force, reiterated Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision on these three points, which he had outlined at the Red Fort. During his address, Singh directed Delhi Police units to work on 'atmanirbharta' (self-reliance) and come up with a proposal within 15 days. The aim is to make the Delhi Police self-reliant on as many fronts to stop dependence on other units for things like commandos, bomb disposal squads and wireless sets, he said. 'Although the Delhi Police have always been making the best use of technology and we are way ahead on this front, there is still a need to go further,' he said. 'We need to embrace this principle at an individual and as well as at the organisational level.' He advised the units and districts of the Delhi Police to work on this principle to develop a sense of healthy competition among themselves. While expressing his concern, the police commissioner said that despite working so hard, even beyond working hours, the force has not been able to win the trust of the public as it should have. He further suggested that every police personnel needs to come out of a feudalistic mindset and shift attitude from 'Shasak Bhav' to 'Sewa Bhav' to make the public feel more comfortable approaching the police in case of need. The force's head also took the opportunity to congratulate the 18 officers and personnel of Delhi Police who have been awarded police medals for 'distinguished service' and 'meritorious service' on the occasion of Independence Day, acknowledging their hard work and dedication.

Trump says Xi assured him China won't invade Taiwan during his presidency
US President Donald Trump has said Chinese President Xi Jinping personally assured him that Beijing would not attempt to invade Taiwan while Trump remains in office. Speaking in an interview with Fox News on Saturday, Trump recalled: 'He told me, 'I will never do it as long as you're president'. President Xi told me that and I said, 'Well, I appreciate that'. But he also said, 'I am very patient and China is very patient'.' The remarks came ahead of Trump's planned talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin over Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. According to Reuters, the Chinese embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment following Trump's statements. The two leaders held their first confirmed call of Trump's second term in June, and Trump had earlier said in April that Xi had reached out to him by phone, though he did not specify the timing of that call. China considers Taiwan a breakaway province and has repeatedly vowed to achieve 'reunification' with the island, by force if necessary. Taiwan, a self-governing democracy, rejects Beijing's sovereignty claims. China has increased its military presence around Taiwan, with frequent warship and aircraft maneuvers, and regular violations of Taiwan's air defense zone. US officials have previously warned that China could quickly shift to a military blockade or assault if it chose. Although Washington is Taiwan's main security partner and arms supplier, the United States, like most countries, does not maintain formal diplomatic ties with Taipei. (With inputs from Reuters)
