BHUBANESWAR: Shooting skills of police officers in Bhubaneswar have improved. The ongoing firing practice, which is under way at Sidheswar police firing range at Naraj in Cuttack district, showed at least 35% of around 1,000 personnel, who participated in the practice session, managed to hit the bull’s eye in the last three days. The figure was only around 15% in 2019, police sources said.
The aim of the officers was to get tested through Insas rifle, light machine gun, AK-47, 9mm and .38 pistols from a 100 yard and 50 yard range. “We have been organising the shooting practice for police personnel of all ranks and file once every year. Compared to last year, the accuracy of the aim and shooting skill has improved among many police officers,” a senior police officer said.
