THE proposal to establish a Commissionerate Police system in Sambalpur remains in limbo even 11 years after the announcements made by the previous BJD government in 2014.

- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @ Sambalpur

The Urban Police Act, 2003 provides for creating police commissionerate in municipal corporation areas, and Sambalpur qualified after its municipal limits were expanded to bring in Hirakud and Burla NACs, along with 12 gram panchayats which include 7 gram panchayats of Dhankauda, and 5 gram panchayat of Maneswar blocks.

A report detailing the framework for the Commissionerate Police system, including the number of police stations, personnel requirements, and area demarcation was submitted to the government after the urban policing system was mooted for Rourkela and Berhampur too. But this initiative has not been implemented till date.
