The four-storey government building, where the police station has been shifted, will be utilized as talathi training centre. It houses the tehsil office on the first floor and the ground floor has been given to the police.
“The reconstructed police station will have a spacious parking lot and rooms for storing weapons and interrogation, among others. We have even planned a training hall. We will also have a hall for accommodating SRPF platoon, summoned for emergency situations,” he added.
Police commissioner K L Prasad said, “The pleasant ambience of the temporary building should develop the personalities of the staff. So, they should see to it that minimum complaints are lodged at the police station by resolving disputes diplomatically and in a legal manner. The citizens visiting the police station should not grumble that the on-duty staff behaved impolitely.”
