Police personnel have been on the field since the beginning of the crisis.
“We’ve been working to keep the people safe and secure,” he said, adding that in many cases police members lacked safety equipment.

He also urged the police personnel to follow health guidelines.
“If you’re not healthy and safe, it won’t be easy to provide protection to the people of the country,” AIG Rana said.
