Tackling law and order, traffic and Maoist problem would receive top priority. Criminals would be sternly dealt with, said new SP of Balangir district Abinash Kumar here on Thursday.

“We shall see to it that no innocent person is harassed. Let the community get the benefits of community policing police, he told the media.

The police-public relation would also be improved further. “We appeal to people to inform us whenever any incident takes place and not to take law into their own hands as the police will definitely act,” Abinash Kumar said. He also urged the mediapersons to share information with the police for prompt and appropriate action.

“Many people have complained to me about the chaotic traffic problem of Balangir town, and I will definitely look into it,” he said.

He also said that he would see to it that dances in the forthcoming Sitaalsashti Yatra are performed as “permitted by law.”

“We will tackle the Maoist problem in the district though better intelligence collection, besides winning the hearts of people by providing them all the benefits of Government programmes, Kumar said further.
