New buildings for police stations in Abohar, Fazilka

Abohar, August 13

At least five police stations in Abohar and Fazilka districts will soon have independent buildings, if the move initiated by the district authorities goes well.

It is believed that one of the reasons for lapses in tightening the noose on bootleggers, drug peddlers, gamblers and immoral trafficking agents, was the functioning of some police stations from small and makeshift buildings, most of which looked like graveyards of hundreds of vehicles that had been impounded or damaged in mishaps in the past decade.

At a meeting called by Deputy Commissioner Arvind Pal Singh Sandhu, the officials were told to select suitable land to construct new buildings for police stations of City-2 Abohar, Khuikhera, Vairoke, Rohranwali and Amirkhas. The need to arrange independent buildings in Abohar for the offices of SP, DSP (urban) and DSP (rural) also surfaced. — OC
