MP Dr. Rajdeep Roy demands up-gradation of Police Outposts to full-fledged Police Stations

Nov. 4: Drawing attention of the Director General of Police, Assam, MP Silchar Dr. Rajdeep Roy raised the demand of up-gradation of the 20 odd police outposts in the district of Cachar. In a letter addressed to Bhaskar Jyoti Mahanta, DIG, Assam on Tuesday, Dr. Rajdeep Roy highlighted the need of upgrading the Assam Police infrastructure of Cachar district which is suffering due to lack of up-gradation and man-power since long.

Dr. Roy wrote, “This prestigious district in addition to Inter-district border also has Inter-state boundaries. The population of the district is almost 20 lakh (2 million) and has multiplied exponentially since Independence. The work in the outposts has also increased immensely and the expectations of the citizens have not been met. The no of cases been registered in Thanas on a yearly basis is much more than the state average. The 20 odd outposts immediately need a make-over with pumping in of new technology, manpower and increased mobility of police personnel.”

Thanx to @DGPAssamPolice BJ Mahanta IPS for a fruitful and interactive discussion on means of upgrading policing and age old infrastructure in my #silchar constituency.

Further, the MP also drew the attention of the state DIG and wrote, “The Rangirkhari and Tarapur Town Out Post needs to be converted to Police Station immediately as because work-load in these two Out Post is immense and no up-gradation has been done since Independence. A new Thana at Dudhpatil (Borkhola LAC) needs to be sanctioned with immediate effect to meet the aspirations of the people of that area. I hope under your guidance and leadership the Cachar Police will undertake work of modernization and up-gradation to fulfill this aspiration of the people in general.”
