The Sai Cabinet meeting is expected to take a crucial decision on the proposed Police Commissionerate system for Raipur. According to official sources, the cabinet may give final approval to the jurisdiction, administrative boundaries, and operational framework of the Raipur Police Commissionerate.
If cleared, the Police Commissionerate system will not only cover Raipur city but may also extend to Nava Raipur, bringing the entire capital region under a unified policing structure. The move is aimed at strengthening law and order and improving administrative efficiency in the rapidly expanding capital area.
Under the proposed system, the Police Commissioner will be vested with magisterial powers, enabling faster decision-making and immediate action in matters related to public order, crime control, and security management. Following cabinet approval, the state government is expected to issue a formal notification to implement the system.
Republic Day Address Also on Cabinet Agenda
The Sai Cabinet meeting is also likely to focus on preparations for Republic Day. The cabinet may approve the draft of the Governor’s address to be delivered on the occasion. The address is expected to highlight the state government’s achievements, upcoming welfare schemes, and key development initiatives. Once approved, the draft speech will be finalized for delivery.
Review of Irregularities in Paddy Procurement
Another major agenda item includes a review of paddy procurement operations across the state. The cabinet will examine reported irregularities related to procurement, stock verification, and lifting of paddy from procurement centers. In recent weeks, complaints regarding discrepancies and mismanagement in the system have surfaced.
The cabinet is expected to hold detailed discussions and may issue directions for corrective measures to ensure transparency and timely payments to farmers. Strengthening monitoring mechanisms and streamlining procurement processes are likely to be emphasized.
Other Key Decisions Expected
Apart from these issues, the cabinet may also deliberate on several other departmental proposals, including development projects, administrative reforms, financial approvals, and public welfare measures.
This cabinet meeting is being viewed as particularly significant, as it comes after the formation of Chief Minister Sai’s government and may result in major policy decisions impacting policing, agriculture, and governance in the state.
