He said that the journey of Police Public Schools which started from one room in District Police Lines Jammu has reached great heights with its branches in seven districts across the J&K. “It is just a beginning, J&K Police has much more plans to execute for upgrading these schools. PPS Bemina would soon have its own auditorium,” he said.

“With today’s programme children have given a memorable farewell to me and to chairperson PWWA/PPS,” the DGP said.

“I feel proud that chairperson PWWA and its members have played a very big part in shaping the future of Police Schools and Police Hospitals. A school can be a building but it can’t be a centre of education which is impossible without hard work,” he said.
