JEYPORE: Amid the massive crackdown on ganja cultivation and smuggling in Koraput district, the Jeypore police is now faced with a peculiar problem. There is an acute shortage of space both in court malkhana and police station premises to accommodate the seizures made under Narcotic Drugs and and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
With DGP Abhay making it clear that action against drug trafficking remains a top priority of Odisha Police, the district administration has intensified crackdown against the ganja mafia in the region. In recent months, Jeypore police has seized massive amount of the contraband in town and rural areas.
BHUBANESWAR: Nine years after the high court had in July 2011 asked Odisha to carry out pre-transfusion blood screening in all blood banks using the NAT PCR technology, along with the usual ELISA test, the government has done so in only six of the 57 blood banks in the state. It plans to expand the technology in seven other blood banks soon.
Sources said the government was planning to introduce NAT PCR in blood banks in Bargarh, Balangir, Balasore, Baripada, Koraput, Jeypore and Jharsuguda. The technology is already available in two blood banks each in Cuttack and Bhubaneswar and the blood banks in Berhampur and Burla (Sambalpur).
