Bhubaneswar (7.8.2020): Chief Minister Shri Naveen Patnaik has approved
rationalisation of 905 posts in Odisha police. Recently the Chief Minister had directed the DG of Police to make more personnel available in Police Stations by way of rationalisation.
The Chief Minister has approved this rationalisation for strengthening of the
police Stations for better crime control and efficient delivery of citizen centric services. Significant decline in the Maoist menace due to strong security response and development activities has enabled the State to rationalise its manpower in police.
Besides the rationalisation of 905 posts, the Chief Minister has also approved creation of 6 new police stations in various districts of the State by bifurcation of existing Police Stations.
The existing Police Stations which will be bifurcated creating six new police stations are Khandagiri Police Station,
Bhubaneswar; Angul Town Police Station, Angul; Jhasuguda Town Police Station, Jharsuguda; Bhanjanagar Police Station, Ganjam; Bhadrak (Rural) Police Station, Bhadrak and Tihidi Police Station, Bhadrak. This rationalisation will also help strengthening of 220
Police Stations and six Outposts in 21 Police districts of the State.
