Spl police units, strategies fail to rein in deadly capital drug trade
The New Indian Express Jeypore
|January 11, 2025
THE gruesome murder of sanitation supervisor Sahadev Nayak has brought into focus the growing spectre of brown sugar trade in Bhubaneswar.
It has also raised serious posers about the efficacy of dedicated units and a bouquet of programmes aimed at checking such illegal activities in slum settlements of the capital.
Commissionerate of Police has special units such as QAT, special squad and Team 60 to take on such organised crime. It also runs Operation White Spider, a special initiative against drug trade. This apart, the special crime unit (SCU) was upgraded to a full-fledged police station in 2023 with jurisdiction covering the entire area of Bhubaneswar-Cuttack Commissionerate Police. SCU had started functioning the same year to take on organised crime, smuggling of drugs and economic offences.

RAHUL'S REIGN OF RELENTLESS DEFEATS
IT began not with a whisper, but with a political detonation across the Gangetic plains. Last week, Bihar, always a keen weathervane for shifting political winds, delivered a verdict so mortifying for the Congress that even its most seasoned apologists struggled to dress it up. Contesting 61 seats, the party staggered out with a miserable six. It wasn't a defeat-it was a spectacle of collapse. And at its centre, as always, stood Rahul Gandhi, the prudish prince of a shrinking empire, presiding over the most dramatic political implosion in the history of a once-dominant national party.
