About 330 policemen in the state have been trained as members of the police band, and they will perform in various districts on Independence Day.

Dr. Yadav remarked on the wonderful performance at the ‘Swar Megh’ program, emphasizing the dedication and patriotism of the police personnel. He expressed his admiration for the police’s hard work and commitment to security and service.
Dr. Yadav recalled his early days in office when he proposed establishing police bands in all districts, a challenging task that has now been successfully completed due to the police’s determination. He noted that at the time of independence, most districts had police bands, but their numbers dwindled as officers retired. This presented a challenge that the police aimed to overcome by 15 August 2024, and he expressed happiness that this goal had been achieved. Now, police band performances will be held in every district on Independence Day.
Dr. Yadav stated that police bands will be established in all districts of the state, with proper recruitments to support this initiative. He mentioned that 340 policemen have voluntarily started police bands in all districts, showcasing their determination and dedication. He highlighted that today’s achievements will be remembered as a significant milestone in the history of Madhya Pradesh Police.
Dr. Yadav outlined several important decisions made by the state government for the MP Police, including the recruitment of 7,500 new posts and the inauguration of a 50-bed police hospital in Bhopal. Additionally, if a Madhya Pradesh Police officer is martyred, 50 percent of the one crore rupees compensation will go to the spouse and 50 percent to the parents. The police have also redrawn the boundaries of police stations, that benefit 22,000 villages. Dr. Yadav expressed confidence that the Madhya Pradesh Police will continue to create a strong identity through their dedicated service.
