Julio Ribeiro gets Dadabhai Naoroji Award

Mr Julio Rebeiro, former Mumbai city police commissioner is a Titan among India's sons and by honouring him with Dadabhai Naoroji award, we are honouring ourselves. Rebeiro has an impeccable record of public service as a top IPS officer and his contributions as police commissioner, chief of security in Punjab, Ambassador of Romania and Head of various social organisations mark him out as an outstanding Indian. A no non-sense official, he wielded the positions with great eclat. While managing patently difficult assignments, Rebeiro remained calm and was approachable to the common man. His striking ability to understand human psychology made him acceptable to the slum dweller and the influential alike. He soared so high in public esteem, that none in top police cadres could ever come near. Honesty and credibility in public service made him the most popular police commissioner and a Padma Bhushan Awardee. His life and achievements serve as a beacon light worthy of emulation by government officials. His excellent articles in the journals are a treat for the readers.
