A team of Gurgaon police led by police commissioner Sandeep Khirwar visited the spot and inspected the plot, which has been earmarked for setting up the proposed police station on Wednesday.

Khirwar said that there has been steep rise in population in the area, and it needed more police presence.

“A police post will be set up in the sector in a few days and it will help in better policing of the area”, he said.

Initially, the police post will be set up in a built up area that has been offered by the developer Vatika.

The residents of sector 81, 82, and 83 beyond the Kherki Daula toll have been demanding more police presence as there has been a steep rise in petty crimes in their areas.

Prashant Rai, a local resident said that setting up police post will be a positive development as it would curb petty crimes as well as activities of miscreants roaming in the area.

Real estate developer Vatika, which is providing the space for setting up police post, said that the post is likely to become functional within the next fortnight.
