The meeting brought together Superintendents of Police, Inspectors General and Deputy Inspectors General from different police ranges. Mishra directed senior officers to improve public services and ensure that criminal investigations remain fair, impartial and time-bound. Ahead of the festive season, he ordered police authorities to identify sensitive and vulnerable locations and deploy additional personnel there. The review also stressed coordination across different levels of the force to maintain peace and public safety during the period. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The security plan will depend on how district-level teams convert broad instructions into specific deployment and response arrangements. Useful measures for the public include clear traffic diversions, visible patrols, functioning help lines and quick action on complaints. Time-bound investigations also require regular case monitoring, adequate investigators and documented reasons for delays. The next signal will be the district-wise security arrangements and public advisories issued before major festive events. ## Coverage - odishatv.in Straight account of police directions and festive security preparations This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
