S N Srivastava also told them that the coming days will be tough and they (the force) have to prepare themselves for the tougher tasks. The force has to maintain patients and courage, Srivastava has said. 

"On 26 January when the protestors went on a rampage and the situation was chaotic, you (Police) showed great courage to tackle it. We had all the options to use force, but we remain silent so that we could save lives. Because of the restraint we exercised, we were able to deal with the worst situation. We have faced more ugly situations in past too. Your courage, bravery and cleverness helped us to deal with farmers' protest. Our 394 personnel suffered injuries during this, I went to meet them, we are providing them with all the facilities. The coming few more days will be tougher for us. We will have to be more vigilant for that. We have to keep patience. I thank you for your service," reads the letter.
