Prime Minister Balendra Shah on Monday urged newly graduated police inspectors to carry out their responsibilities without political pressure, outside influence or personal interest, addressing the Basic Police Inspector Training 184th group graduation ceremony at the National Police Training Academy. He congratulated the officers on completing the long and rigorous course and said honesty and discipline were essential to protecting the image of Nepal Police.
A call for impartial service
Shah told the graduates that their official duties should not be shaped by political pressure or influence. He also cautioned them against decisions or activities driven by personal interests, making clear that their responsibilities as police officers should be carried out in keeping with the organisation’s protocol.
The prime minister’s message placed impartiality at the centre of the role expected of the newly graduated inspectors. His instruction was not only to avoid direct pressure, but also to ensure that personal gain did not guide their conduct. He urged the officers to remain within the standards and procedures of Nepal Police as they move from training into their professional duties.
The address focused on conduct and responsibility rather than on any specific operation or policy announcement. Shah’s remarks called on the new inspectors to apply the discipline developed during their training and to avoid actions that could conflict with the organisation’s rules. He framed those expectations as important to maintaining the police force’s public image.
Honesty and discipline as foundations
Shah identified honesty and discipline as the main foundations for upholding the image of Nepal Police. The emphasis linked individual conduct with the reputation of the institution: the newly graduated officers, he said, should carry out their work in a way that reflects those values and respects organisational protocol.
His congratulations also acknowledged the effort involved in completing the training. The programme was described as long and rigorous, and the graduation marked the completion of that course for the 184th group of police inspector trainees. Shah urged the graduates to take the discipline and standards associated with their training into their service.
The guidance set out a clear expectation for the officers as they begin their work: decisions should not be made to serve personal interests, and their duties should not be compromised by political pressure or influence. By pairing that warning with his emphasis on honesty and discipline, Shah presented integrity as a responsibility of each officer and a basis for maintaining confidence in the police institution.
Expectations for the new inspectors
The prime minister’s remarks at the National Police Training Academy graduation ceremony addressed the conduct expected of the newly trained inspectors as representatives of Nepal Police. He urged them to avoid activities motivated by personal gain and to refrain from acting against the organisation’s protocol. The message was directed to the graduates as they completed a demanding stage of preparation for police service.
Shah’s instruction was straightforward: the officers should perform their duties honestly, remain disciplined and resist pressure or influence that could pull them away from their responsibilities. He congratulated the graduates on completing the course while underscoring that their conduct in service would matter to the image of the organisation.
The address placed the responsibility for upholding those standards on the newly graduated inspectors themselves. As they take up their duties, Shah urged them to follow Nepal Police protocol, keep personal interests out of official decisions and carry out their work free from political pressure and outside influence.
