(Kunwar Brajesh Singh)

Inside the issue....Odisha Police celebrated its eighty-first formation day on April

1 this year. From strength of 4000 personnel at the time of its

raising in the year 1936, the strength of Odisha Police today

is more than 67,000. True, the manpower and other resources

of the state police have increased substantially in the last eight

decade of its existence, but so are the duties, responsibilities

and challenges to policing that have gone up exponentially

during this period. The expectations of the citizens for better

access to police services and more accountability on the part

of the police in its functioning are the corollaries to the paradigms of good governance. We have

to tune ourselves to such citizen centric police service in the years ahead.

In the last quarter our drive against the antisocial elements, tender and transport mafia has been

encouraging and will continue unabated till we are able to completely crush their network and

instill an environment of security and peace in the state. Our anti-maoist operations have been

encouraging with positive outcome. Congratulations to our officers and men who are in the

forefront of such operations for their relentless and untiring efforts in fighting out the extremists,

which have also been appreciated at the national level.

Odisha Police is committed to proactive and people friendly policing. I am happy to note that

some of our initiatives for senior citizens and women have been recognized at the all India level

and won awards. I will urge upon the Odisha police to innovate and bring out novelties within

the constraints of the resources and win the confidence and trust of the people.

EDITORIAL BOARD

The third issue of the Newsletterwill be released on the auspiciousoccasion of SriGundicha. In spiteof best of our efforts, some of theunits have gone unrepresented inthis edition as no input wasforthcoming. In fact, we went tothe extent of pursuing with some establishments for sharingtheir stories with us after coming across the coverage of thegood initiatives in the newspaper!

One particular initiative of Aska Police Station is worthmentioning. The “Ama Police Samiti” of Aska Police Stationunder the leadership of the IIC organized a function to felicitatethe meritorious students of HSC Examination under AskaBlock. Interestingly, this was one of the suggestions of Hon’blePrime Minister in the DGP Conference 2015 for improvingthe image of the police and has been included as an actionableagenda point. A worthy story would have been missed out,had the PRO of Police Headquarters not noticed it in thenewspaper and pursued with the IIC to share it with us.

I request all heads of the Districts, Battalions, Units andestablishments to contribute their achievements. An e-versionof this issue will be available in Odisha Police website.
