Singhal said Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has provided guidance for modernising the Haryana Police, with a vision of making the force more advanced and efficient. He also referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s emphasis on developing a “smart police” system.

“From the first day, I had said that I would work for police welfare first, and I have done that work,” Singhal said.

He stated that ₹9 crore has already been spent on police welfare till May 2026. He added that Haryana Police’s practices are gaining recognition across the country.
