It may be recalled here that sudden spurts of crime in the district has unleashed havoc among citizens but police timely action in such incidents not only averted a major incident but will help instill citizen’s faith with cops.

East Champaran district having second largest population after Patna in the state has thin numbers of cops that has adversely affected the investigation process. Frequent movement of VVIPs to this district also keeps the available police force on toes, leaving routine policing neglected.
