It’s Thana Diwas now in Palamu every second and fourth Tuesday, wherein aggrieved persons and the aggressors both sit in the Thana and in presence of revenue officials like CO, CI and revenue workers the police officials of the respective police Stations try to sort out problems mostly related to minor land disputes like pathway/ drainage measurement.
According to locals the concept of Thana Diwas is slowly catching up with the aggrieved people where confidence has been built up that police will act proper, fair and neutral.
SP, Palamu, Indrajeet Mahatha said that Thana Diwas is getting good public response wherein confidence of the both the sides is retained.
A 6 Km run was organised on Tuesday by Palamu police between Pokhraha and Bara lota wherein 500 people took part. The run was against superstitions. Girls of Ramgarh police station outran others. Police doled out cash worth Rs 1500, 1200 and 1000 to those who stood first second and third respectively.
Sources said this run against superstition was first of its kind as Palamu had never run against superstition. Among the male runners RajinderYadav reached the victory stand. SP Palamu said police are seriously chalking out programmes to hold more such events like volley ball matches to promote awareness about many of the social evils.
