Doorstep FIR Service To Come Up In Cuttack-Bhubaneswar During Lockdown

Bhubaneswar: The Commissionerate Police on Tuesday announced that it has come up with a doorstep FIR service for the residents of the Twin Cities of Cuttack and Bhubaneswar to provide hassle-free redressal of complaints lodged by people during the 14-day lockdown period coming to effect from May 5.

Bhubaneswar DCP Umashankar Dash informed about the announcement through a presser today. The Twin City Police has decided to launch doorstep FIR service for the benefit of people so that they don’t have to come out to police stations during the lockdown, Dash said.

Anyone having any complaints regarding dacoity, burglary, or any other crimes can inform the police by dialing number 100 or by calling the IIC of the concerned local police station. After collection of details of the complaint, police will reach the residence of the complainant and register the FIR.

Bhubaneswar DCP however assured that there will be no question of any lackadaisical approach in the investigation into the complaints received from the people.
