The message from Gupta came after his visit to two police stations and interaction with staff of district units, traffic, security and police control room within the first ten days of his taking over charge.

"I have asked the police stations to remove junk vehicles and clean up police stations so as to give a new environment. Things need to improve drastically," Gupta said.

The 58-year-old official said the purpose of his visits was to convey to the personnel that the police stations needed a "lot of improvement". A lot of junk is seen strewn across the premises of police stations. Gupta took over as commissioner of police on November 10.
