Friday, 18 October 2019 | PNS | BHUBANESWAR

Oil marketing companies (OMCs) are the backbone of country’s economy. So, the security and safety of the OMCs operating in the State is the priority of Odisha Police,” said Director General of Police BK Sharma while addressing the 2nd Onshore Security Coordination Committee Meeting here on Wednesday.

Assuring of all kinds of cooperation and support to the oil companies as and when necessary, DGP Sharma said the State level Security Co-ordination Committee meeting should be organised at regular intervals to sort out issues relating to their day to day functioning.

 He suggested formation of District Level Security Coordination Committees under the chairmanship of Superintendents Police for sorting out local issues.

He advised the OMCs to maintain good rapport with the staff of local police stations, so that minor issues can be sorted out at the police station level.

The relationship between police and OMCs should be at the grassroots level.

Sharma also suggested to involve officers from Fire Department in such coordination meetings in future as fire safety measures is equally important for smooth functioning of oil companies.

The relationship between police and company operators should be permanent instead of incident specific, he said.A threadbare discussion was held on various issues. OMCs’ representatives raised issues pertaining to law and order, crime, land acquisition, threat of transport and tender mafias, strike and demonstration by workers, bandh and dharna by local people on local issues, looting of oil by anti-socials, regular patrolling of pipe line areas and sought early redressal for smooth operations.
