Traffic Police Draw Plan To Check Accidents
The city traffic police have geared up to prevent frequent road accidents, especially in front of schools. The recent death of a St Xavier's High School student, who was crushed to death by a speeding city bus, has forced the district administration and the departments concerned to chalk out a strategy to prevent such accidents.
SP (traffic) Ajit Kumar Sinha said, "I will request the road construction department to construct speed breakers and zebra crossings in front of all major schools in the city."
At the outset, speed breakers will be constructed in front of St Michael's High School, St Joshep's Convent, Bankipur Girls High School, Christ Church School, Patna Central School, BD Public School, Loyola High School and Kendriya Vidyalaya, Bailey Road.
Apart from speed breakers, zebra crossings, which helps pedestrians cross their way, would also be constructed.
Road construction department (RCD) secretary Pratyay Amrit said, "The RCD will definitely construct speed breakers in front of the schools to prevent such tragedy in future. After all, it is a question of life and death."
The SP (traffic) also said that soon a drive will be launched in which parents or guardians parking their vehicles unlawfully in front of the school gates will be fined. "Often parking of vehicles in front of schools causes heavy traffic jam and a stampede-like situation. Though I don't blame them for this because there is definitely lack of adequate parking space near schools, people should not their vehicles in a chaotic manner," the police officer added.

Traffic Control Number One Priority: Patna DM
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.

4 Schools To Teach Bihar Cops Jungle Warfare
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.

Army Lessons For Bihar Cops
: 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.

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.
