Bhubaneswar: With the implementation of 5T Initiative in the police department, a visible change is being seen on the ground. Regular feedbacks and on-site visits by officers have changed the way police stations serve the people. Going a step ahead, Ganjam and Kandhamal police have started taking action against officials who are found to be deviating from the set principles of good governance.
While the Asst Sub-Inspector of Nimakhandi Police Outpost under Berhampur Police Limits has been suspended for taking bribe to release a stolen motor cycle, two others belonging to Phulbani Model Police station have been suspended for laxity in duty.
Prafulla Chandra Satapathy , in-charge of Nimakhandi outpost, has been suspended after it was found that he had asked for bribe to release a stolen motor cycle.
