Chouhan wants policemen to be like 'Singham'

Exhorting police officials to act like 'Singham,' the character of a tough policeman played by actor Ajay Devgn, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said "real Singhams" are required for better law and order.

Although 'Singham' was a movie character, "real Singhams" would be good for maintaining law and order, Chouhan said during an event at the Police Training and Research Institute here last evening.

He asked the police to follow good points of the fictional character in their work.
It was also informed on the occasion that an SMS service had been initiated for the benefit of women to register their complaints, in view of incidents of crime against women and children.

He called for effective steps towards providing rehabilitation, relief and education to women who face such instances.

Meanwhile, reacting to Chouhan's statement on law enforcement officials to be like 'Singham', state Congress president Kantilal Bhuria said, "It appears that the Chief Minister is influenced by Bollywood."

"Such discourses to policemen do not work," Bhuria said in a statement.
