Darbhanga Rural SP Sakshi Kumari conducted a surprise inspection of Kewati and Raiyam police stations late Wednesday night. During her visit, she examined the police arrangements, night patrolling, OD duty, security of the lock-up, record keeping, and overall station premises management at both locations. The Kewati Station House Officer (SHO) was found not wearing his uniform during the inspection, which sparked discussions among the police personnel. However, the Rural SP clarified that the SHO had just returned from a raid and was therefore not in uniform at the time, dismissing it as a minor issue. She also noted that the OD officer and other police personnel were present on duty.

The SP instructed enhanced vigilance on NH-527B, which connects Darbhanga to Jayanagar near the Nepal border. She emphasized the need for constant deployment of patrolling vehicles on the highway and making night patrols more effective. Police were directed to remain active in sensitive areas and to take immediate action upon receiving information about any suspicious activity. SP Kumari also reviewed the security arrangements of the lock-up and stressed adherence to security protocols. She instructed that applications from visitors to the station should be promptly processed for FIR registration and complaints should be resolved quickly.

Regarding the Raiyam police station area, the SP advised police officers to be vigilant about the security of banks and jewelry shops. She commended the existing surveillance efforts and called for increased patrolling and monitoring in areas connected to the highway. During the impromptu inspection, SP Kumari directed police officers and personnel to maintain discipline in their duties, comply with established rules, and remain alert to prevent crime and maintain law and order. The sudden arrival of the SP at the police stations created a stir but also heightened alertness among the personnel.
