Chandigarh/Bathinda: A day after he was appointed as new police chief, DGP Suresh Arora on Monday flew to Amritsar in the state-owned helicopter to pay obeisance at Golden Temple. Arora, who replaced his batchmate Sumedh Saini following deteriorating law and order situation after 10 reported incidents of desecration of Guru Granth Sahib, was accompanied by additional DGP (law and order) Rohit Chaudhary and DIG (intelligence) Rajesh Jaiswal from Chandigarh.
He also went to Durgiana Temple. Arora, a 1982-batch IPS officer, was until recently vigilance bureau (VB) director and set for a top job in New Delhi on central deputation. His trip to Amritsar and later Bathinda included meetings with cops from Faridkot, the epicenter of protests, and neighbouring districts, where incidents of sacrilege had occurred.
The state government had recently come under fire from the opposition in the Vidhan Sabha while questioning non-availability of a chopper and seven-hour road trip undertaken by Saini to Gurdaspur on July 27, when terrorists had attacked the police station in Dinanagar.
