Kathmandu, July 8 : Inspector General of Police (IGP) Basanta Bahadur Kunwar said there was an opportune time for reforming and transforming the police organization now.     

At a press conference held at the Nepal Police Headquarters in Kathmandu on Friday, he made it clear that the police organization was receiving good support from the political leadership.
