RAHA, April 7 - A policeman on duty at a public place can both burnish or tarnish the image of the entire force. Therefore, the police should develop a cordial relationship with the public, said Shankar Brata Raimedhi, Superintendent of Police, Nagaon, while inaugurating the new building of the Chaparmukh police outpost on Monday.
