Bhubaneswar: August 7:Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has approved rationalization of 905 posts in Odisha Police. Recently, the Chief Minister has directed the DG of Police to make more personnel available in Police Stations by way of rationalisation. The Chief Minister has approved this rationalisation for strengthening of Police Stations for better crime control and efficient delivery of citizen centric services. Significant decline in the Maoist Menace due to strong security response and development activities has enabled the State to rationalise its manpower in Police.
The rationalisation also helped in creation of 6 new Police Stations in various districts of the State by bifurcation of existing Police Stations.
The existing Police Stations which will be bifurcated creating six Police Stations are Khandagiri Police Stion, Bhubaneswar;Angul Police Station, Angul; Jharsuguda Town Police Station, Jharsuguda;Bhanjanagar Police Station, Ganjam; Bhadrak (Rural) Police Station, Bhadrak and Tihidi Police Station, Bhadrak.
