Rourkela: In an effort to
make the Steel City free from criminal activities, the Rourkela Police
administration today conducted a Police-Public awareness drive under the
guidance of the newly appointed Superintendent of Police Amitendra Nath Sinha.
According to Sinha, the awareness drive will
be held in other part of the Rourkela Police district in order to create
police-public friendliness attitude and policing network. This is the first
such drive here after his joining.
People from various walks of life attended
the event at Gopabandhupali Police Outpost near Railway colony. The focus of
the meeting was to ensure safety of the general public by equipping them with
necessary means in combating crime by the police personnel.
Denizens of Gopabandhupali and Madhusudanpali
area informed the SP that most of the crimes relating to burglary, theft, gang-war,
drug peddling and eve-teasing and vandalism are reported from their areas. The locals
also informed that there has been a spurt in the consumption of drugs including
brown sugar, charas, ganja and liquor.
Present at the gathering, social activists Ashok
Kumar Panda urged the police to take stringent action against the drug peddlers.
These factors addicted many people in these areas including the young ones, he
added.
After taking down the inputs and grievances
Sinha said “I have noted all complaints and very soon steps will be taken in
curbing these problems. We all have to fight against these social evils.”
He also requested the people to dial 100
(Police Seva Kendra) in case of an emergency or at the time of filing an FIR.
“Without the identification of the person,
the case will be registered and actions will be taken into consideration”, he
added.
“Efforts will be made to strengthen community
participation since the residents are the most important source of information
for the police. We have planned to put into service of more constables and an
officer-in-charge in these areas very soon”, Sinha said.
