Bike patrolling introduced in Balangir town just two months ago by police has been stopped due to shortage of manpower and money.

After two years of introduction of PCR van patrolling, the Balangir police had started motorcycle patrolling in the town area. The police personnel were seen moving in bikes in different streets and residential areas where the PCR vans could not reach easily.According to sources, at least 12 more police personnel,

besides funds, are required to further resume bike patrolling. But leave alone bike patrolling, even manpower shortage in Balangir police stations has not been sorted out.The PCR van service came as a big help for the denizens of Balangir during last year. It had helped curb crime to a great extent. That apart, the PCR vans helped shift people from accident spots to hospitals.
