VADODARA, APRIL 30: Additional Director General of Gujarat Police A K Bhargava has exhorted the police personnel to be more public-friendly and learn to use all modern equipment.

He said this while addressing a gathering at the convocation ceremony to felicitate the passing out parade of the 238th batch of the Police Training School here on Thursday. About 990 constables were awarded certificates for their eight-month training at the PTS.
