Bihar will raise a special battalion on the lines of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) to assist the state machinery in disaster management, protection of the weaker sections and restoring law and order during communal disturbances, an official says.

"The process is already underway for setting up the special battalion in the state," Director General-cum-Commandant General of Bihar Home Guards and Fire Services Neelmani said.

About 225 home guards have been selected for the special battalion in the first phase.

Neelmani said the battalion would have a sanctioned strength of over 825 troopers. The special battalion would be ready for duty by March or April next year.

"All the selected home guards would have to undergo rigorous training from NDRF soon," a police officer said.

Patna District Magistrate Jitendra Kumar Sinha, at a meeting of the district's top police officials in Patna on Sunday once again reiterated his pledge to free Patna from illegal encroachment in an attempt to resolve the city's chronic traffic problem.

During the meeting that was also attended by Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Vineet Vinayak, the DM stated that resolving traffic problem was the number one priority for the Patna police and it had taken a series of steps to restore some sanity on the streets.

Besides removing illegal occupiers from the streets, the district officials have decided to levy heavy fines on fruit vendors near the Income Tax Roundabout and other busy places where consumers park their vehicles on the streets to conduct purchasing.

"There are special kiosks for the vendors near the IT Roundabout but they routinely ignore it to set up their stalls causing a traffic bottleneck in those areas," Sinha said.

Situation near Raja Bazaar Sabzi Mandi is also completely out of control, the DM said adding the administration had decided to crackdown on the vendors illegally occupying the space by imposing heavy fines on them.

The SSP, meanwhile, expressed his frustration with the tempo and bus driver organizations who, he said, had threatened to go on a strike if the district administration followed up on its promise of turning a number of streets one-way only.

"Traffic has become a nightmare in Patna but we cannot solve all the problems of the city without the cooperation of its citizens," Vinayak said.

Bookmark to: Linkarena Bookmark to: Digg Bookmark to: Facebook Bookmark to: Reddit Bookmark to: StumbleUpon Bookmark to: Furl Bookmark to: Spurl Bookmark to: Google Bookmark to: Technorati Bookmark to: Newsvine Bookmark to: Blinkbits Bookmark to: Netvouz Information
Worried over spreading tentacles of outlawed CPI (Maoist), the Centre has okayed four schools to teach jungle warfare to Bihar cops so that they could take on the ultra-leftists more effectively.

"Select Bihar police and Bihar Military Police (BMP) jawans will be given three months' training by retired Army officials at these schools," ADG (HQ) Neelmani told TOI on Monday, adding the Centre has allotted Rs 1.5 crore each for the schools which will come up at BMP-2 HQ at Dehri, BMP-3 HQ at Gaya, BMP-4 HQ at Dumraon and BMP-15 HQ at Valmikinagar.

These schools are likely to become functional by December. "The Centre has suggested a panel of retired Army officials for selection of trainers," Neelmani said and added the state home department will constitute a committee which will finally select the trainers and the trainees. The committee will also comprise the IG (operation) and the Brigadier of sub-area of Danapur Cantonment, and the number of trainees at each school would be 250 to 300.

The funds have already been disbursed to the commandants of the BMP units concerned for procuring necessary equipment and also to the Bihar Police Building Construction Corporation for developing required infrastructure. Quite a few meetings between the Army and state police officials have been held in this regard, Neelmani said and added the police jawans trained at these schools will be part of the state's Special Task Force and used exclusively to take on Maoists.

The Centre has also launched a programme in collaboration with the state for creating special infrastructure, including strengthening of police installations and construction of roads and helipads, in Naxalite-hit districts. The programme would be launched in Gaya and Aurangabad districts, to begin with. All expenses would be borne by the Centre which has already sent Rs 18.9 crore for the purpose.

The programme will be launched in Arwal, Jehanabad, Jamui, Rohtas, Bhojpur, East Champaran, West Champaran, Kaimur, Nalanda, Nawada, Patna and Sitamarhi districts -- in the next phase.

: The Bihar government has decided to use the services of the Indian Army to train police personnel to counter Maoists spreading their tentacles in fresh areas and resorting to guerrilla warfare against security forces on a stepped-up scale.

“Also, the government has decided to appoint 5,000 former army servicemen in police ranks,” said the additional director-general of police (headquarters), Neelmani, adding: “We will take army’s help to train cadre especially in guerrilla warfare.”

Sources revealed that the Danapur cantonment has agreed to impart out-door training to the policemen.

The rebels have caught the state policemen unawares in at least six raids this year alone and have snatched 28 firearms. As many as 24 policemen have lost their lives in these attacks. The police top brass feels that Bihar’s set up was not specifically trained in Maoists warfare.

The government has also decided to open counter insurgency and jungle warfare schools at Dehri-on-Son, Katihar, Bodh Gaya and Darbhanga, so-called Maoist hubs.

Bihar is contemplating its own anti-terrorist squad (ATS) on the pattern of Maharashtra. Police headquarters has already prepared a blueprint for it that is under consideration of the state government.

If every thing goes as planned, Bihar may become the fourth state to have its own ATS, IG (operations) SK Bharadwaj informed. Besides Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh have also constituted ATS to deal with such terror strikes.

The ATS for Bihar will be very much similar to Maharashtra's as it had been modelled on it in composition, chain of commands and weaponry. An IG rank officer will head the ATS having its base in the state capital. Two DIGs and four SP rank officers will head operational units. The ATS will function an an independent unit having all facilities right from transportation and communication to the state-of-art equipments and weapons.

Patna Police To Go Hi-Tech

Patna city police is desperately trying to curb crime but problem is faced from within the system. But now Patna police is all set to go hi-tech with GPS equipped police patrolling vehicle so that their location and movement can be tracked.

With spurt in crime, the city police in Patna, the state capital of Bihar, is all set to go hi-tech, thanks to initiative taken by police head quarters in this regard. Police Patrol cars will now carry GPS. Only a few weeks ago, police officers from IG to Dy SP and many SHO of the state capital were reshuffled after a bizarre incident, in which one girl was stripped in a public place on a busy exhibition road round. It earned lot of criticism for the police and national media, both electronic and print, got flooded with news related to police apathy and non-competence.

The young IPS Manu Maharaj was made city SP and crackdown has been unleashed on the criminals bring the morale of criminals down to a considerable level. Now herculean task with the top cop of the city is to keep constant watch on the movement of patrol cars, which is said to be 100 odd in number, so that the police personnel performs up to the expectations. IG PN Roy, who is also an expert in disaster management and has undergone trainings in countries like USA has chalked out plans to install Global Positioning System (GPS) on all the patrolling cars of the city in first phase.

It has been seen in the recent times that Police patrol cars remained conspicuously absent from the site of crime and could only be located when the criminals left the place of occurrence (PO). The arrangement has already been done that at least one police patrol should touch one particular place within 10-15 minutes. But due to absence of any device, the police parties on the patrol cars could easily lie about their locations at the time of commitment of crimes. Now with the installation of GPS, this problem can be checked and no police patrol can lie about its location. The SP or any other senior police official can locate the particular police parties.

Decision follows alleged bungling in recruitment by CRPF in Patna

* Application form will be designed in OMR sheet for scrutiny through computer

* The written test will consist of objective type, multiple-choice questions

The government has approved a revised scheme for recruitment of constables in the Central Para Military Forces. The new scheme aims at making the recruitment process more objective and maximising the use of technology.

The move comes in the wake of alleged bungling in the recruitment of constables in the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), involving high-ranking officials. The scam, unearthed in Patna, is being probed by the CBI.

The application form will now be designed in the Optical Mark Reading (OMR) sheet centrally so that it can be scrutinised through computer.

The physical efficiency test will now be only qualifying in nature and not carry any marks. The written test will consist of OMR-based, objective type multiple-choice questions and the question papers will be set centrally.

Alarmed by the sudden spurt in criminal activities in Bihar, the state police headquarters is setting up a task-force in all the districts to prevent such incidents.

"We have decided to constitute a special task-force in each district in the wake of the spurt in the incidents of abduction for ransom, bank robbery, cash loot and petty crime", top state officials said.

Fully equipped with modern facilities, the task-force, comprising station house officers (SHO's) and efficient police officers, would deal with criminal gangs perpetrating abduction, contract killing, bank dacoity and road robbery, they said.

The task-force would work under the purview of superintendent of police of the respective districts.

The deputy inspector general of police has been asked to identify the gangs operating in their respective zones and engage the task-force personnel to attain the desired results, they added.

The security personnel involved in the task-force would also keep watch on the activities of the gang-lords running a crime syndicate from behind the bars, they said.

Apparently taking a cue from chief minister Nitish Kumar's repeated stress on people-friendly image of police, Patna cops are readying to undertake an exercise which is likely to change the face of the district police.

Under the exercise, medical check-up and health awareness camps would be organized in those areas of the district which are devoid of proper health care facilities. Apart from doctors and paramedical staff, local police officials would attend the camps, likely to be organized from June this year.

Patna Police Hospital's medical officer Dr Parmeshwar Ojha said, "We would also organize special programmes in hamlets and schools to generate awareness about hygiene and some common diseases." He said information gathered from different sources regarding common diseases would be presented in a simple manner before the villagers using LCD projectors. Experts would be present to remove doubts, if any, of the villagers.

"We have already requested the police headquarters to provide a laptop, an LCD projector, a screen and a portable genset," Dr Ojha said and added leaflets containing information about diseases like diabetes, blood pressure, cancer and Aids would also be distributed among villagers.

In the wake of the recent serial blasts in Delhi and other parts of the country, Bihar has decided to be extra-cautious during the festive season
, a time when a large number of people come out onto the streets and gather at puja pandals all over the state.

The top brass of the police department has initiated a series of meetings with the divisional and district police authorities to monitor the policing and assess the preparedness of the forces in tackling any unprecedented situation.

DGP D N Gautam and principal secretary (home) Afzal Amanullah on Sunday set off for Bhagalpur to hold a high-level meeting there, but due to inclement weather their plane could not land and had to return. On Monday, they will fly to Muzaffarpur to hold the meeting there.

Gautam and Amanullah said that a meeting had already been held with the police authorities in Patna, Gaya, Jehanabad, Nalanda, Nawada, Rohtas and Aurangabad. The one in Patna was held on Saturday. The officials have been handed over a long checklist for maintaining peace and communal harmony during the festive season apart from checking the crime.

Sources said the officials at the meeting, which was participated by Commissioners, regional IGs, DIGs and SPs, demanded that additional force be deployed in areas considered as sensitive in the state during the pujas. The authorities directed the department to take personal initiative in keeping a strict vigil on the law and order situation and tap in on the intelligence sources whenever needed.

New Generation Model Police Stations Soon In Each District of Bihar

By the end of next year, Bihar is going to have at least one new generation police station in each district which will appear vastly different from the dilapidated police stations visible in the state. They will be three storied, plush looking with terracota and much better furnished.

"We would start constructing these model police stations from the month of October this year. We have already called for the tenders," remarked ADG and Bihar Police Building Construction Corporation chairman-cum-managing director Ashok Kumar Gupta.

It will not only have a different look, but a different approach. They will be people-friendly having counselling rooms, waiting rooms, rooms for the women and children and separate toilets. They will have computer rooms and modern communication systems. Unlike many police stations, these model police stations will have high boundary walls with police guards on the top to deter Naxalite attacks. The four key officials of the police station will have their residence on the police station premises. There will be a barrack for police constables making the unit alert all the time for action.

The state government has sanctioned the cost of construction of these police stations from its own funds. The average cost of each modern police station, which will be located at the district headquarters, will be Rs 1.28 crore more than twice the amount given for the construction of an urban police station.

In an attempt to change the unfriendly and unapprochable image of the police, a senior cop in Bihar is trying to make himself accessible to public 24 x 7 by installing a call bell outside his house.

He calls it the "Jahangiri Ghanti." The bell is installed outside the residence of DIG Muzzafarpur.

Petitioner, Archana Chaudhary sought justice at Bihar's CM, Nitish Kumar's Janta Durbar for her 4 year old son who was killed a year back by her neighbour, but to no avail. She finally pressed the Jahangiri Ghanti.

Chaudhary said, (translated) " My 4-year-old son had been killed by slitting his throat and the culprits are still at large. I am tired from running pillars to post in search of justice. I have finally come to the DIG to seek justice."

The Jahangiri Ghanti is a brainchild of senior IPS officer Arvind Pandey, currently posted as DIG, Muzzafarpur.

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, at a high-level meeting of Bihar's top law-enforcement officials in Patna on Saturday, resolved to fill more than 9,000 positions in the state police and bring an end to the backlog in the reserved seats including those reserved for the women.

Applications for these posts would be invited through advertisements in Bihar newspapers in next few days, Kumar informed adding the hiring process would be completed in two phases with the first phase to be completed in next four months.

"Nearly 6,000 posts meant for women and men from backward, extreme-backward classes, and Scheduled Castes are vacant since last several years and would be filled before the end of this year," Additional Director General (ADG) of Police (Law and Order) Anil Kumar Sinha said following the meeting.

The meeting was also attended by the Chief Secretary, Home and Finance Secretary, Law Secretary, the newly-appointed Director General of Police (DGP) D. N. Gautam, ADG (Headquarters), ADG (BMP), and a number of IGs.
