The sub-divisional police officers (SDPOs) and concerned deputy superintendent of police (DSPs) personally supervised the campaign.

The Samvedna Camp was started on April 15 this year with the initiative of Praveer Ranjan, IPS, director general of police, Chandigarh, to dispose of the complaints and the redressal grievances of the public.

A police official said the objective of the camp is to provide easily accessible and speedy machinery for the redressal of grievances of the public as well as to bring transparency and accountability in police functioning.
