International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), has selected the anti-drug & illicit liquor campaign ‘Nijaat’ of Chhattisgarh police for 'Leadership in Crime Prevention' in the institutional category.
Early this year, the Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPR&D) included the Nijaat campaign among the thirty best smart-policing campaigns in the country.
The meaning for Nijaat is Riddance or Liberation.
The campaign was launched by the Chhattisgarh police under the leadership of the IPS officer Santosh Kumar Singh.
