The
blueprint for proposed Berhampur Commissionerate of Police is ready and would
be submitted to the State Government soon for approval, said Director General
of Police (DGP) Sanjeev Marik.
The
DGP was on a day’s visit to the district on Thursday to inaugurate new
buildings of Dharakote and Jaganathprasad police stations. He told mediapersons
that priority is being given to strengthen the police administration in order
to gain confidence of public.
Speaking
on recruitment in the Police Department, Marik said 1200 sub-inspector posts
are currently lying vacant for which, interviews are being conducted and 675
persons have already been selected. He added that around 500 retired
sub-inspectors of police will be re-appointed by the State Government very
soon.
The
maximum age limit of the retired police officers will be 60 years and they will
work till 62 years of age, he said. Marik said there would be no dearth of
retired police officers in the State as they had retired at the age of 58. “The
retired police persons would get their last salary drawn as the monthly payment
and the new payment would be made after deduction of the monthly pensions. The
move is aimed at solving large scale vacancies of the police personnel in the
State,” Marik said.
On
Maoist presence in Southern Odisha, he said their activities have been reduced
to a large extent due to strong policing and security measures. “More forces
will be brought in to fight the Maoists, if required,” said the DGP, adding
that Maoists of Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh are still active in different
parts of southern region of the State. Marik said ‘Ama Police’ facility will be
available in all the police stations. “Ganjam and Berhampur police stations
will get this facility by September 15,” he added.
