Sambalpur, Feb. 11: Community policing will shortly be launched at all police stations across the state, state’s director general of police Prakash Mishra said here today.
Talking to reporters here today, Mishra said: “The local community will discuss the problem of their respective areas with the police. They will also guide and help the police.
