Patna Police starts patrolling on bicycles
In a new experiment, Patna Police has started patrolling on bicycles, aiming to curb petty crimes and increase reach in low police presence areas. Jeep patrolling is faster but can not reach narrow spaces, Patna SSP Manu Maharaj said. While foot patrolling solves this, it is very slow and hence cycle patrolling can be a good middle ground, he added.
