Pre-fabricated police stations

RAIPUR, AUG. 23. Chhattisgarh government has approved an ambitious proposal to install pre-fabricated structures for police stations in naxal-infested areas of the State.

``About 22 police stations in the state would be set up with pre-fabricated structures -- the technology used by the Indian Army for its forward posts'', Chhattisgarh Home Minister Brij Mohan Agrawal told PTI here today.

The project would require about Rs 10 crore and the work would be carried out after the monsoon, Agarwal said.

He said both PWG and the Maoist Communist Centre ultras were hyper-active in the state and were creating trouble in construction of buildings for 22 police stations exposing both the police and their weapons to high risk.

In the recently held conference of superintendents of police and inspector general of police, chaired by the Home Minister, several officers of the naxal infested districts pointed out that the ultras were creating disturbances in construction of police buildings and even at certain points they are violent against the labourers and the contractors, police headquarters sources said.
