Mumbai's suburbs will have three more police stations.
The construction of the offices is part of the city police's
first phase programme to improve security at certain places
in the city. The places where the new stations are expected
to come up are Jawahar Nagar, Goregaon (West), and Gorai
in the western suburbs and Vinoba Bhave Nagar in Mumbai
north-east.
The work of constructing another three police stations
will commence soon after the first phase of the project
has been completed, police commissioner A N Roy said.
"We feel that new police stations are necessary
in these areas and we have sent our proposal to the
state government. It will help the nearby police stations
that have a larger jurisdiction," he added.
Roy added that if the department could not finalise
the proper places then the police stations will be started
in rented structures. As of now atleast seven police
stations are being run in rented buildings. In the second
phase, P D'Mello Road police station, between MRA Marg
police station and the Dongri police station, will be
started.
