Declaring that "peace remains the sine qua non of economic growth, all-round development, quality of life, and poverty alleviation," DGP Singh reaffirmed the Assam Police's unwavering commitment to maintaining peace in the region.

DGP GP Singh stated the commitment of the police force to maintaining law and order in the state and preventing crimes that could obstruct economic growth.
"Every police officer is dedicated to maintaining the state's peaceful atmosphere on both a law and order basis and by stopping crimes that impede the state's economic development. Achieving our aims has been greatly aided by the Hon. CM's positive and explicit directions in that regard," Singh stated.
