Deployment of arm guards in Bhubaneswar GPO and provision of police escort in cash van

Comrades,

You are aware that we have been struggling hard for deployment of arm guards in Bhubaneswar GPO for overnight security of cash and valuables and provision of police escort in cash van since long. Apart from continuous pursuance with the Divisional administration for the purpose, we have drawn the attention of our Circle Union, CHQ and NFPE also. As per latest information available, the proposal already submitted by SSPOs, Bhubaneswar to Circle office during May-2011 basing on the report of the Dy. Commissioner of Police, Bhubaneswar was not clear as to if the Arm Guards will also accompany / escort  the cash van for deposits to the Bank and vice-versa. As such Circle office has now instructed SSPOs, Bhubaneswar  to  re-examine the proposal on the above point by taking up the issue with the Police authority and report compliance. The SSPOs, Bhubaneswar  has been instructed  by the Circle office to obtain the consent of the Dy. Commissioner of Police, Bhubaneswar  for escorting cash van to Bank and vice versa by the Arm Guards   and submit the same to C O at the earliest for taking further action.

Hope, our Divisional administration will soon comply the queries of C O for early solution of this long pending issue.
