It will reduce the burden on the existing police stations, police officials said. The Additional Chief Secretary of the Home Department issued a notice of decision (NOD) to the police department on Monday regarding the upgrade, officials said.

Currently, there are 10 police stations in Nuh district and after the upgrade there will be a total of 14. Twelve personnel such as one inspector, one sub-inspector, two assistant sub inspectors, six constables, one cook and one sweeper will be deployed in these four new police stations, police officials aware of the matter said.

Nuh Superintendent of Police, Narender Bijarniya, said after analysing all aspects to maintain law and order and to provide effective policing, they had proposed that four police posts be upgraded as police stations in the district.

The state government has approved the establishment of four new police stations, converting existing chowkis into fully-functional police stations. “As part of this initiative, the Aakera police chowki under the Sadar police station in Nuh will be upgraded to a police station. These new police station will have a total staff of 13 police personnel, including one inspector, one sub-inspector, two assistant sub-inspectors, one head constable, and eight constables. Earlier, locals had to visit Nuh police station to get a case registered but from next week they can meet the station house officer who will be authorised to register a case or initiate an enquiry,” Bijarniya said.

The Punhana police chowki will also be upgraded to the Punhana city police station. This station will have a total of 27 policemen, consisting of one inspector, one sub-inspector, four assistant sub-inspectors, one head constable, and 18 constables.

These are expected to become operational next week,” he said.
