The present state of lawlessness in South Orissa should be a cause of concern for the State as maoist strikes, violence, murder and gang war has become common of late in this region. People here are under panic for the last few months but the administration seems to be unmoved. Till now the region has been grappling with Maoist activities and added to this the heinous murder of revered Swami Laxmananda Saraswati and other monks, the violence following that incident in Kandhamal, Gajapati and Jeypore, gang-war and day light murder in Berhampur, murder for liquor license in Ganjam District, political murder and violence in Aska, Sorada and Bhanjanagar, rising maoist violence in Rayagada and Malkangiri shows the inability of the State Government to maintain law and order in South Orissa.
This will be in the fitness of things for the State Government to take stern measures to contain the volatile situation in the region by the creation of a new police IG range at Berhampur by bringing together the DIG Southern Range, Berhampur and DIG South Western Range Sunabeda. Added to this Police Commissionerate system for Berhampur City has become inevitable in view of the deteriorating law and order situation in the Greater Berhampur Region. With the Army base, Gopalpur Port, IRE and other sensitive establishments situated in around the city which need enhanced security cover, the Police Commissionerate system has to be introduced in an expeditious manner. Further, appointing a Superintendent of Police for Railway at Berhampur has to be considered in view of the maoist threat perception on railway property and Berhampur being the transit point for criminals and maoist elements from Orissa and Andhra Pradesh needs special security arrangement including installation of CCTV cameras in the Railway Station. To overcome the present situation of violence, murder and lawlessness in South Orissa we urge your immediate intervention and affirmative action. The people of the region have seen enough of underdevelopment and deprivation and they can ill afford such a deteriorating environment arising out of complete lawlessness. The State Government should walk the talk of bringing normalcy and lasting peace in South Orissa by the creation of an IG Police Range at Berhampur, introduction of Police Commissionerate system for Berhampur city and creation of a new Railway Police District at Berhampur at the earliest.
