Khanna Police Play Devotional Music Outside Lock-Ups to Promote Calm and Reflection
Khanna police have launched the 'Sound of Hope' initiative, installing speakers outside all eight police station lock-ups and a CIA unit to play soft devotional music, including Gurbani shabads and bhajans in Punjabi and Hindi. Conceived by SSP Darpan Ahluwalia, the program aims to create a calm, reflective environment for detainees, promoting introspection and dignity during custody. The playlist includes spiritual compositions from various faiths, played at low volume to avoid disturbance.
