PATNA: Patliputra police has been gifted a new hi-tech police station. Constructed at a cost of Rs 90 lakh, Patna SSP BS Meena formally inaugurated it on Friday.
It will house between 8-10 officer-rank personnel and 20-30 constables. There is a separate wing for women officials which has been created to look into the complaints of women only, said ADG, Bihar State Police Building Construction Corporation, A K Gupta, adding the USP of the station would be its people-friendly nature.
“Complainants will get conducive space and environment,” he added while talking to TOI. To facilitate modern investigation, separate IT and communication rooms have been provided for. An inspection room for the visiting officers has also been added.
Hygienic toilets, mess and resting places or barracks will be a great respite for policemen spending a good part of their time at the police sta-tion. A separate barrack for women has also been provided.
In recent years, many new police station buildings have been handed over to the district police, like Jakkanpur and Jaanipur police stations, and some in the naxal-affected areas like Bhagwanganj and Parsa Bazar. New buildings for Khanpur Khiri More and Patrakarnagar police stations would also be completed soon, said the ADG.
A model police station is also in the offing at Gandhi Maidan, specially sanctioned by the state government to be completed at a cost of Rs 1.5 crore. One model police station for every district will also be constructed.
Bhagalpur, Motihari, Arwal, Muzaffarpur and Aurangabad districts al-ready have one model police station each.
