I was instrumental in Police getting trousers
Former MLA Vatal Nagaraj, participating in the function, said that it was he who was instrumental for Police personnel getting trousers instead of knickers, stating that ever since he was beaten up by the Police in 1967, he has had a very friendly relation with them which made him successfully take up the issue of providing Police personnel with trousers with the Government.
He also demanded that Policemen who brave the vagaries of nature while performing their duties be given additional allowances for maintenance of physical fitness which plays a major role in Policemen performing their duties.
