Venkaiah Naidu also said that effective policing is important to deal with growing violence, extremism, religious fundamentalism, terrorism and threats in the form of cyber-attacks and bank frauds. He said a high level of professionalism, dedication to the duty and sensitivity to the expectations of the people must be developed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
