Motihari: East Champaran superintendent of police Swarn Prabhat has directed all police stations in the district to set up high-tech mess facilities with modern dining arrangements. The facility will be only for jawans and officers living in barracks, while those staying with families have been excluded.The SP said the initiative aims to improve the quality of life and overall functioning of police personnel. “Jawans will get regular, nutritious and quality food, which will help them stay healthy and perform duties more effectively,” he said.According to inputs, many personnel were facing difficulty in cooking food or arranging rations on time due to long and irregular duty hours. The mess system is expected to address these issues and reduce delays in reporting for duty. It will also minimise risks linked to the use of heaters and LPG cylinders in barracks.In another administrative move aimed at making policing more effective and accountable, the district police have launched a monitoring initiative following directions from police headquarters. Twelve key police stations will be supervised closely by senior officers.As part of the exercise, 12 top district officers, including the SP, have been assigned to oversee improvements in police station functioning, faster disposal of pending cases and enhanced public service delivery.The SP said around 1,615 cases are currently pending across police stations in the district. During a recent inspection of the Town police station, he reviewed pending cases related to murder, loot, robbery, NDPS Act, SC/ST atrocities, attacks on police and prohibition law violations.He directed officials to expedite investigations and dispose of cases within stipulated timelines, using scientific evidence wherever required.Officials said the mess system would reduce mental and physical stress among police personnel, enabling them to focus better on crime control and public service.
