Odisha approves formation of 2 additional OISF battalions; creating 2,080 new positions
BHUBANESWAR: In a significant move to bolster industrial security, chief minister Mohan Charan Majhi approved the formation of two additional battalions for the Odisha Industrial Security Force (OISF). This decision will create 2,080 new positions, with each battalion comprising 1,040 personnel. With this, the total number of OISF battalions rose to four, with a total of 4,927 positions. Earlier, the govt added the second battalion in April. The addition of these new battalions will enhance the force's capacity to safeguard the state's burgeoning industrial sector, a govt statement said. The expansion comes as part of the state govt's strategic focus on industrial development, particularly following the 'Utkarsha Odisha-Make in Odisha 2025' initiative, which accelerated industrialisation. With the establishment of new industries, the demand for robust security measures at key industrial and commercial sites has become increasingly critical. The newly approved positions include 1,944 regular roles and 136 outsourced roles.

Odisha mandates installation of CCTV on college, varsity campuses to check crimes
BHUBANESWAR: In a bid to check incidents of sexual harassment, ragging and other crimes on campuses, the state government has decided to bring all higher educational institutions under the Higher Education department under the CCTV surveillance system. Under the Shaktishree initiative, which was announced by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi last week in wake of the FM (Autonomous) College incident, the department has decided to mandate installation of CCTVs in all public colleges and universities to keep a closer watch and ensure a safe environment in the campuses. Modalities of the installation are currently being worked out. A senior official of the department informed that principals of the institutions will soon be asked to identify the locations on campuses where installation of CCTVs is required. The principals will consult the internal complaints committee (ICC) members and Shaktishree Empowerment Cells to decide upon locations on the campuses. A central control room will be established in the department for monitoring purposes. 'The idea is to bring both frequented and less frequented areas in a college or university under CCTV surveillance to keep an eye on any untoward incident that is happening on campuses including cases of sexual harassment,' said the official.
