Lieutenant General Gajendra Joshi, AVSM, SM, Commandant of The Infantry School, Mhow, honored Superintendent of Police (SP) Indore (Rural) Hitika Vasal and Additional SP Rupesh Kumar Dwivedi for their exemplary contributions to fostering civil-military collaboration and ensuring security in the region.

The felicitation ceremony, held at The Infantry School, recognized the officers’ proactive efforts in building trust and seamless coordination between civilian and military authorities.

During the event, Lt Gen Joshi commended SP Vasal and Addl SP Dwivedi for their unwavering commitment to transforming Mhow Cantonment into a “Sashakt & Sukashit” (empowered and secure) area.

He emphasized the critical role of their leadership in maintaining harmony and security through a collaborative approach. The General Officer also extended appreciation to the Station Headquarters for their efforts in this transformation, specifically acknowledging the leadership of Station Commander Brigadier KVP Singh Sambiyal, as well as the contributions of the Administrative Commandant and all officers involved.

SP Hitika Vasal, who has previously been in the spotlight for her role in a high-profile investigation in September 2024—where she led the arrest of two suspects involved in an assault on an Army officer in Indore—continues to demonstrate her dedication to law enforcement and support for the military.

Her efforts, alongside Addl SP Dwivedi, have significantly strengthened the bond between the local police and military establishments, setting a benchmark for civil-military cooperation in the region.

The Infantry School, Mhow, a prestigious institution for training Indian Army officers, served as the backdrop for this significant recognition, underscoring the importance of such partnerships in maintaining national security and community welfare.
