Four new police stations announced for Berhampur city

The State Government has decided to open four new police stations for Berhampur city. This was informed by the state government in reply to an Unstarred Question of Berhampur lawmaker RCC Patniak. People of the City have welcomed the proposal for new police stations that includes one traffic police station as well which had become inevitable owing to bad traffic condition on city roads in recent times. While a new police station at Ambapua and a Traffic police station are going to start soon, police stations at Nimakhandi and Lanjipali are under active consideration of the state government. These new police stations which will come up in places under the limits of Berhampur Municipal Corporation have become necessary on account of faster rate of urbanization on the city outskirts. But, Police Commissionairate system for Greater Berhampur is yet to be accepted by the state government, demand for which is being made by the people after the city became a Municipal Corporation few years ago.
