Exuding confidence that he is prepared to face any policing challenge in Cuttack, Sanjib Arora on Wednesday took charge as the new DCP (Deputy Commissioner of Police) of the city.
Prior to his present assignment, Arora was the Sundargarh SP since 2011. He has also worked in the districts of Gajapati, Balangir and Deogarh in different capacities as Additional SP and SP.
He took charge of the coveted post here from outgoing DCP S Praveen Kumar, who is now a Vigilance SP here. Speaking to reporters after assuming charge, Arora said he is prepared to take up any challenge to deliver the best policing service 24X7.
“Police heavily bank on the people’s support and cooperation to deliver the goods, and I am sure the city, known for its unique and distinguished spirit of Bhaichara (brotherhood), would extend me support and cooperation to serve the people,” Arora said.
Asked as to how he would handle the crucial elections ahead in the city when 18 of the 21 police stations here are now being headed by officers new to the city, Arora said the same situation is prevailing in almost all the cities of the State in view of the transfers effected due to the elections. “But the police will stick to the jobs during the elections as per the guidelines issued by the Election Commissioner of India,” he said.
