From the Editor 12

One of the challenging tasks before us in the last quarter was

to make elaborate police arrangements for the smooth conduct

of the car festival-2016. I am happy that with a good deal of

planning, coordination, monitoring and unwavering support from

all quarters, we could ensure an incident free festival. My

heartiest congratulations goes to all officers and men including

members of the Home Guards and Fire Services organization for

their contribution towards the smooth conduct of the festival.

It is heartening to note that Odisha Police contingent, which

participated in the state level Independence Day Parade in Andhra Pradesh as part of the new

Inter-State Friendship and Harmony Programme of Government of India, bagged the Best

Contingent Award. Recently, three of our top athletes made us proud by winning medals at the

65th All India Police Athletics Championship-2016 at Hyderabad.

One of our mission mode e-Governance projects is the “Crime & Criminal Tracking Network

System (CCTNS). This project, inter alia, aims at creating citizen centric portal for interface with

citizens in providing police related services. I have a vision to implement the project on a priority basis

for the benefit of the public for which I need your whole-hearted support.

As a part of our continuing effort for community oriented policing, the “Ama Police Samitis” will now

take up safety and security concerns of the senior citizens in the urban police stations of the State.

I convey my best wishes to all the members of Odisha Police and their family for a happy and

prosperous Durga Puja.
