Puri:
Four Russian nationals including three women were detained by Odisha Police on Tuesday for flying a drone equipped with a camera capable of taking high-definition images over the Sri Jagannath Temple in Odisha’s Puri on Thursday.
“The Section 144 will remain in force from Saturday (3pm) till June 4 (9pm). We have formed six Covid enforcement squads, consisting of police personnel and the staff of the Puri municipality, to enforce the prohibitory orders. We request the citizens of Puri to cooperate with us and remain indoors,” Puri SP Kanwar Vishal Singh said.
BHUBANESWAR: Puri police have deployed 10 platoons of force and 45 officers for the smooth conduct of the 21-day Chandan Yatra in Narendra tank from Saturday, marking the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya.
In view of the Covid-19 pandemic, the government has banned the participation of devotees and will impose prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the CrPC between the stretch of the Jagannath Temple and the Narendra tank during the period.
Odhisha on Friday launched 14-days ‘mask abhiyan’ to encourage people to wear face masks properly, and the Odisha police have sent out a strong message to violators of Covid safety protocols by fining a constable in Puri for not wearing face mask.

BHUBANESWAR: Puri police have asked its control room staff to send cops to any crime or accident spot within 15 minutes from the time of receiving a distress call. The move is aimed at improving the response time of the police in Puri town and municipality area.
The 15-minute deadline was set following allegations that most police control room (PCR) vans often reached the spots late, causing resentment among the locals, especially the complainants. Besides, there was no mechanism to monitor the response of the PCR vans upon receipt of calls at the dial 100 control room or the 5-T call centre.
BHUBANESWAR: The Puri Police have conducted ‘Ama Police’ programme in the district to develop good relation with public. In the programme, police have decided to form Sahi (street) committees in Puri town to stay in touch with the people.
Kanwar Vishal Singh, Puri SP, while addressing the police and public interface at Hatishala under Baseli Sahi police station in Puri town said Ama Police programmes will be organised in those areas where abnormal criminal cases are being reported. Stringent action will be taken against criminals under the Zero Tolerance programme, he added.
The SP said the police will not give any chance to criminals to commit any crime. “Public should think that police personnel are their friends. Without any fear, they should cooperate with the police to control crime in the district. Anti-Crime Control Drive started by the police will help in this field,” he added.
