BHUBANESWAR: The Gyanashraya library was opened for visitors at the Bhubaneswar DCP office in Vani Vihar on Friday. Inaugurated by Police Commissioner SK Priyadarsi, the open library was set-up in collaboration with Dr Bijaya Kumar Sahoo Foundation and Sai International Education Group.

“People visiting the DCP office, Executive Magistrate Court and Maadhyam Women Support Centre on the campus can read books in the open library,” said Umashankar Dash, Bhubaneswar DCP.
He said that there are plans to develop a child-friendly corner in the DCP office where children can read comic books and play games. Besides, a canteen will be opened for the visitors. All the facilities will be located close to each other, he added.
