The DGP on January 4 took to X where he listed out the directives.
As per the directive following are the key points of focus:

In addition to the focus areas, the directive emphasizes a "Zero Tolerance" approach within the Assam Police personnel for:

Any form of sexual and financial misconduct within these premises remains strictly unacceptable.
-Improving Interpersonal Conduct: Striving for improved conduct and behavior towards junior colleagues and the general public is highlighted. Respecting and treating individuals with empathy is emphasised as a fundamental aspect of police professionalism.
-Abstinence from Inebriation on Duty: Remaining steadfast in the commitment to uphold professionalism, the directive maintains the stance that being inebriated while on duty or while wearing the police uniform is unacceptable.
