To prevent Cyber crime, in addition to the Cyber Police Station at Cuttack, three more Cyber Police Stations at Berhampur, Sambalpur and Rourkela have been established, said the CM.
“We are initiating highway patrolling, special drives to enforce traffic discipline and use of high tech gadgets to detect over-speeding”, he added The law and order situation in the state has by and large remained peaceful.
The overall crime situation is also well under control. No major LWE activity has been noticed in the affected districts. The recruitment to the Maoist organisation has declined and mass support base of the organisation has been rendered weak due to our pro-active security measures and developmental interventions, claimed the CM.
“Our intelligence-based operations have yielded significant results in 2018 with neutralization of five hardcore cadres and 12 arrests,” he said. He went on to list out measures taken to recruit and strengthen the police force, infrastructure, and public prosecutors.
The government has framed Fire Prevention and Fire Safety Rules, 2017 to ensure adoption of proper fire safety measures in high rise and other temporary structures.
