Rs 60.84 crore sanctioned for new Baikhora police station building

Minister Shukla Charan Noatia who also happens to be the local MLA of Jolaibari assembly constituency on Wednesday visited the proposed site for construction of the new police station building under his assembly constituency. 

The Chief Minister earlier sanctioned Rs 60.84 crore for the construction of a new building for the Baikhora police station in South Tripura district.

The proposed project aims to strengthen policing infrastructure and improve law-and-order management in the Baikhora area under the Jolaibari Assembly constituency, said officials.

The visit was attended by Panchayat Samiti Chairman Tapas Dutta, Sub-Divisional Police Officer Bappi Debbarma, Officer-in-Charge of Baikhora police station Bishnu Chandra Das, and officials of the Public Works Department, among others.

Speaking to reporters after the inspection, Noatia said the construction work would begin after completion of the required administrative procedures.

“It has been a long pending demand from the people of the constituency and Chief Minister after considering the genuine sentiments of the locals sanctioned a whopping sum of Rs 60 crore for construction of a new building for the police station. It is an old police station and I hope once this building comes up, the whole policing system will benefit,” said Noatia.

He said the government was continuing with infrastructure development initiatives aimed at improving public services and administrative facilities in the constituency.

Officials said discussions were held on site selection and other preliminary aspects related to the proposed construction.

The new building is expected to provide improved facilities for police personnel and enhance the delivery of services to the public, officials said.
