Abhayanand DGP for composite move to tackle Naxal violence



PATNA: DGP Abhayanand on Friday said that a composite move by the police is needed to check Naxal violence in the state. He said that the problems related to Naxal terror is multi-dimensional and for this an effective strategy would be chalked out.
Talking to the TOI, the DGP said that the strategy to tackle the Naxal terror would gradually unfold with police operations and the police operations would be improvised accordingly. He said that the police have learnt from its experience while combating the ultras. Experiments were made to improvise theanti-Naxal operations, he said.
Replying to a query about steps required for checking trafficking of women and children on Indo-Nepal border, the DGP said that a small unit of the state police force has been deployed to check incidents of trafficking. He said that the police force have to be sensitized towards the issue of women and child trafficking and about the measures to check it. He said that the porous Indo-Nepal border poses compoundable problems.
Abhayanand said that in the past, the police had just to check crimes to maintain law and order. But now a new dimension of social crime and other types of crimes were compounding the crime control situation posing new challenges to the police, he said.
He said the forensic science laboratories (FSLs) in the state needs to be strengthened infrastructure-wise. He said that modernization of the FSLs is being done. Purchases of equipment were not made in time despite allotment of money at some point of time. Later, purchases were made and modernization process continued, he said, adding that proper scientific investigation of the viscera and other materials relating to crimes was imperative for quick disposal of criminal cases.
ADG, headquarters, Rajyabardhan Sharma, told TOI that by an order of the DGP on Thursday, the NGO (Not to Go to Office) cell, which was attached to the DGP confidential cell in 1991-92 for keeping the files relating to charges against the IPS officials and DSPs, has been wound up. Such files have been sent back to the home (police) department. He said that the confidential cell at the DGP office continues to function.
