Talking to reporters at the DGP headquarters, Mukul Goel said that after five years, I have come to Lucknow. New DGP of Uttar Pradesh said that, sometimes ignoring small crimes leads to big incidents. Policemen will also have to be more sensitive and give a message of action in every small incident.

DGP Mukul Goel said that maintaining law and order is the challenge. He also called for special emphasis on greater inclusion of technology in policing.
