Haryana inaugurates first Tourist Police post at Mansa Devi temple
Haryana Police established the state's first Tourist Police Post at Shri Mata Mansa Devi Temple in Panchkula on Sunday, 11 October 2026. Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini inaugurated the post, which is equipped with a modern surveillance system and staffed by 20 specially trained personnel wearing distinctive uniforms. The initiative aims to provide security, guidance and grievance redressal for devotees visiting from different states, according to official statements cited by both Hindustan Times and Yes Punjab News.
The post will handle complaint registration, including FIRs and daily diary entries, which previously required devotees to visit a police station two kilometres away. Personnel have received training in courteous behaviour, communication and soft skills. The control room will monitor over 100 CCTV cameras installed across the temple premises. Haryana DGP Ajay Singhal and Panchkula Police Commissioner Pankaj Nain attended the inauguration.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Hindustan Times and Yes Punjab News carry near-identical official accounts of the inauguration, attributing all details to government statements and the chief minister's remarks. There is no critical framing, no opposition voice, and no independent assessment of the post's effectiveness. The uniform coverage reflects a government press-release style, with Hindustan Times explicitly noting the article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modification. The balanced reading is that the initiative is a straightforward law-and-order announcement with no reported dissent or controversy. No next step is named beyond the post's round-the-clock operation.
