Not only in Jaipur the same event was organised across the state when more than 5000 policemen including senior officers got Rakhi tied on their wrist and assured their sisters to work hard on their safety and security.
Sharp at 11.00 am students especially girls of the Anandi Lal Podder School were excited to see senior police officers among them. And policemen unlike their usual looks were looking relaxed and were keen to shake hands with every student and also got pictures clicked.
“Initially the girls were a bit nervous and when the policemen including Agarwal, commissioner of police got the Rakhi tied and gave them sweets, chocolates and pen as gift they were very happy,” said Yogendra Singh Naruka, In-charge, SAL deaf and dumb senior secondary school.
Agarwal too was overwhelmed with this kind of experience and promised not only to his sisters at the school but also to other students to organise a picnic to Nahargarh. “It was our aim to reach out to the people.

School authorities shared the problems including getting a driving license for the speech and hearing impaired youths and others. Policmen also shared a visiting card mentioning police control room numbers, police whatsapp helpline number and email addresses. “You all should use it if you are in need,” Agarwal said while the interpreter of the school made students to understand whatever he said.
