                  I assumed charge as the Director General (HoPF) of Odisha Police. I take this opportunity to convey my best wishes to all the members of Odisha Police and their families. I also pay my sincere homage to police personnel who have laid down their lives in the line of duty.

                  Odisha Police has a rich tradition of rendering committed public service. Over the years, it has earned a name for itself for having upheld rule of law without fear or favour. Vulnerable sections of the society which include women, children and the under-privileged have all along received our special attention. Effective maintenance of law & order and prevention as well as detection of crime have been our forte.

                 In the 21st century, Police Stations must emerge as responsive and citizen-centric institutions. Police personnel must inculcate a friendly attitude towards members of general public and exhibit human touch to their complaints and sufferings. At the same time, Police Stations must adopt technology, so that service delivery is transparent and time-bound. I call upon every member of Odisha Police to contribute their best for transforming the way our Police Stations function and are perceived.

                 On the occasion of my assumption of charge, I call upon all personnel of Odisha Police to rededicate themselves to the cause of providing quality public service.
