Bhubaneswar: A drive to change the system coupled with hard work and dutifulness has made Odia IPS officer Basant Rath a popular face. Posted as the Inspector General of Police (Traffic) of Jammu & Kashmir (J&K), Rath has already become a favourite of the common man as his actions have brought some revolutionary changes to the existing status quo.

Considered to be a friend of the people and a nemesis for lawbreakers, he is quick to reach the spot to nip any problem in the bud. Rath is a crisis manager ready with a solution to any problem - whether through consultation or crackdown, as the situation warrants. He is always a click away and is as prompt to act on complaints raised even on social media.
