Purnea: in a commendable move, Purnea police launched its Facebook page May 9 to create an interface with the public. This is mainly due to the initiative taken by the IPS officer and Purnea superintendent of police (SP) Amit Lodha, an IIT graduate from Delhi. According to Lodha, people can post videos and pictures related to their complaints or the police on the Facebook webpage, Purnea Police, or their website. Purnia considered a remote town by any standards has reacted very positively. When Suray Roy posted on the website: “It is obviously a good idea for the public of Purnea. But if we want to complain about any (police) officer, when and where should we do that?” the SP replied ‘You may complain anytime and anywhere. If there is any problem, then call on my official mobile number 09431822998.”

Similarly, Vaibhav Kumar posted: “I hope now crime in Purnea will be minimised.” Jawed Anjum posted: “Sir. Good to see on Facebook. Now easy to register complaint.”

According to Lodha, “Though the Lucknow police launched such a website, it failed to evoke response for reasons best known to them. But the way our website has received response, it is really encouraging for the district police.” Lodha had earlier started a blog to seek suggestions from people to improve law and order when he was the SP of Begusarai. A similar initiative to connect the police stations through Internet and upload the FIRs was taken by this 1998-batch IPS officer when he was posted as senior superintendent of police, Gaya.

He said social networking sites can also be used for eradicating traffic menace in busy towns. “People can click pictures of traffic violations on their mobiles and record videos of traffic violations anywhere and post them on Facebook. The prosecuting agency can use the videos and pictures as evidence against the offenders,” he added.

Reacting to public response Lodha comments on facebook –‘The response of the lovely of Purnea has been fantastic! your encouragement has renewed our zeal and passion. Policemen are often criticized, many times rightly so. But your support has invigorated us all. As mentioned earlier you are free to make suggestions, criticize CONSTRUCTIVELY. Some people have mentioned their problems and the police has responded to them in less than 24 hrs. Facebook, internet and other technologies are delightful media to get close to each other. Hats off to the peace loving people of Purnea, particularly the YOUTH who are so much determined to make Purnea and our country one of the best places to live in. Interacting with them has made all of us policemen feel 10 years younger’!

Some typical comments from the public :

Shahnawaz Alam –‘js dn janta, police ki dost bn jaegi , us din police ka kaam aasan ho jaega.. isk lie police ko bhulna hoga wardi me ktni takat hai.. blki yaad rakhna hoga pyar me kitni takat hai’.

Amman Perwez – ‘Thank u sir for giving such a wonderful news
just go for it sir and make Purnia one of the beautiful town’.

So do visit the Purnea police site or the facebook page just for the experience even if you are not from Purnea. It’s only a click away!
