Bihar Police

In an effort to restore the impression of Bihar police that commonly brings to mind the portrait of a pot bellied, slack, floppy, overweight, baton spinning, gun slinging man in uniform, the state government has created a 'dress committee' to look into the likelihood of a new uniform that would give a diverse, 'sharp' image of the law enforcement bureaucrats in Bihar according to sources in the Bihar police division. Not to mention the negative publicity that it has received recently.

According to the Bihar Police officials the commission is being led by Additional Director General of Police Abhayanand (1977 batch "Indian Police Service" officer) who will be aided by IG (Provision) S. K. Bhardwaj, IG (Administration) Anil Sinha and three other IGs, DIGs, and four Superintendents of Police (SPs).

The shift is the effect of recent derogatory comments made by the current Chief Minister of Bihar, Nitish Kumar who had commented that the sub-inspectors and havaldars, in their old-fashioned uniform give the impression of being more like clowns and gave a bad light to the whole Bihar police force.

Nitish Kumar have recently approved the sanction of 2,650 Indian rupees cash for each sub-inspector to spend on their novel uniform.

The freshly formulated committee will also be judged as improvement in other parts of the entire police uniform including shoes, belts, and badges.
