Ranchi, Feb. 12: Governor’s adviser K. Vijay Kumar today stressed filling vacancies during a review of police modernisation projects and assessment of the state CID and special branch (intelligence).
Highly placed officials said Kumar, a former CRPF director-general, reviewed the state security apparatus during a high-level meeting that was attended by senior officers at the police headquarters here.
Sources in the police headquarters said Kumar emphasised on filing posts of mid-rung police officers including assistant sub-inspectors and sub-inspectors, besides developing projects undertaken by the police housing corporation.
He questioned about anti-landmine vehicles used by Jharkhand police at present and the intensity of blasts they could sustain. He also wanted to know about developments in the modernisation projects, which are largely funded by the Centre.
“It was a general review of ongoing and coming police modernisation plans. Kumar also reviewed functioning of CID and special branch (intelligence) wings of police,” said a home department source.
The high-level meeting was convened at a time the state has seen a spurt in crime.
Yesterday, while two men, involved with a construction project, were shot dead in Simdega by unknown assailants, while another was shot dead in an empty compartment of Jharsuguda-Tatanagar passenger train in Khunti.
Kumar also held a video-conferencing session with deputy commissioners and reviewed projects concerning his departments this afternoon.
