On the gambling activities in the city, he said that so far 27 persons were arrested by the city police for organizing cricket betting in the city. The police are not sparing anyone organizing it even on a small scale, he said adding, “I appeal to the parents to keep a tab on the activities of their wards. We have come to know that few students are also staking money in cricket betting.”

Giving details of the ‘Policing at the Citizen Doorstep’ concept adopted by the city police, Anjani Kumar said that so far 300 FIRs/ Receipts were handed over by the Blue colts and Patrol Car drivers at the door step of the complainant. “There is no need for the complainant to visit the police station and wherever possible the FIR is provided at the door step,” he said.
