Cuttack: The Odisha Police will launch a special drive “Operation PAREE – III” throughout the state from July 30 to August 13 to trace out the missing children, said Director General of Police (DGP) Dr. R.P Sharma here today.
The DGP informed this while reviewing the crime and Law and Order situation in the state with the Commissioner of Police, Range IsGP/DIsGP, Superintendents of Police and DCPs through video conferencing at State Police Headquarters here.
Sharma reiterated the SPs to make the “Operation PAREE – III” a grand success in their districts.
DGP reviewed thoroughly the crime situation, pending cases of investigation, crime preventive measures, execution of NBW, status of recent Heinous crimes (Rape and Murder etc), status of cases coming under POCSO Act, co-ordination with judiciary, issues on Shelter Homes, status of missing persons, issues relating to Law and Order and budgetary expenditure etc.
The top cop emphasized on the behavioral aspect of Police as good behavior of a Police person is very important to diffuse most of the trying situations at the initial stage.
Sharma also called upon the SPs to work sincerely for improving the rate of conviction in the state.
While complementing the SPs for relatively higher conviction rate in the Red Flag cases that include cases on POCSO Act, he urged them to give emphasis on other cases.
DGP also called upon the SPs and DCPs to gear up the enforcement drive to reduce the fatalities of road accidents and make the travel safer in the state.
DGP also appreciated the role of District SPs for smooth and peaceful conduct of simultaneous General Election 2019, proactive management of cyclone ‘FANI’ that hit the coastal Odisha in the 1st week of May and smooth management of Ratha Yatra that went-off peacefully at Puri and other places in the state.
In the crime scenario, in most of the cases of importance, the accused persons have been arrested by police very promptly. This could be possible due to the effective leadership and proactiveness of SPs, said DGP.
For the first time Ashok Parija, the Advocate General of Odisha along with his team of officers attended the meeting and interacted with the SPs and other Senior Officers on effective coordination between AG office and Police.
As per the suggestion of Advocate General, Nodal Officers will be appointed in each district to monitor the court cases on regular basis. Crime Branch will strengthen the Liasoning Cell in the AG Office for effective coordination at state level.
