Sankaran got the award for his presentation 'How to improve the efficiency of circle inspectors', Vizi got the award for her presentation 'Tourism policing in Bihar-strategy for the road ahead'
The IPS couple received the award in London.
Sankaran and Vizi, along with 106 other IPS officers from all over the country including eight from Bihar, are currently in London in connection with their mid-career training programme. The other Bihar cadre IPS officers attending the training programme includes Sushil Khopde, Anupama Nilekar and Pankaj Darad. While . The presentations were jointly assessed by senior faculty members of the Cambridge University and UK police top brass.
Both Sankaran and Vizi have strong links with the Magadh area. The couple had not only their probation in Gaya, they also tied the nuptial knot here. Both of them have hold the post of superintendent of police, Gaya, and the commandant of the Gaya unit of BMP. Sankaran also worked as Aurangabad SP.
Tourism policing has been on Bihar government's agenda for quite a few years and the idea was first mooted by former DGP Neelmani during his stint as DIG, Magadh range. Following the infamous gangrape of a Japanese tourist a couple of years back, the tourism police demand was revived. However, the concept is yet to see the light of the day.
Tourism sector watchers believe that tourism police is a must if the tourism industry in the state is to get the desired fillip. Police officials are of the view that Vizi's award winning presentation on 'Tourism policing' will go a long way in giving practical shape to the idea of a dedicated police force exclusively trained in tourism management along with the courtesy and service delivery aspects of ideal policing. Sankaran was recently in the news for acting in a Bhojpuri film.
