Kanker, Chhattisgarh: To further strengthen law and order and build stronger trust between the police and the public, the Kanker Police have launched the “Mor Mitan – Kanker Police” campaign, introducing a robust beat policing system across 154 villages of the district.
Under the direction of Nikhil Ashok Rakhecha, Superintendent of Police, North Bastar Kanker, the initiative aims to ensure close monitoring of criminal activities while promoting community-oriented policing.
As part of the campaign, beat in-charges have been appointed in every village. Police personnel ranging from constables to Assistant Sub-Inspectors (ASI) have been assigned specific areas of responsibility. Each beat officer will maintain a Beat Book, which will include detailed records of police associates, institutions, history-sheeters, suspicious individuals, tenants and landlords, scrap dealers, outsiders, CCTV camera locations, arms license holders, pensioners, government employees, and information about local fairs, festivals, markets, and public events.
To ensure accessibility, the names and mobile numbers of beat in-charges will be displayed at village panchayat buildings and on dedicated information boards, enabling residents to directly contact their assigned officer whenever required.
For effective implementation, WhatsApp groups will be formed involving village sarpanches, patels, kotwars, elected representatives, youth groups, women’s self-help groups, social organizations, and police volunteers. This community policing approach is expected to reduce the gap between the police and citizens and enhance real-time communication.
The primary objective of the “Mor Mitan – Kanker Police” campaign is to establish a strong, reliable, and continuous connection between the police and the public. The initiative focuses on crime prevention, close surveillance of suspicious activities, identification of local issues, and prompt resolution of public grievances, while fostering a sense of safety and trust among citizens.
Kanker Police have appealed to the public to report any suspicious activity or crime by contacting the police helpline at 94791-55125. The identity of informants will be kept strictly confidential.
