Patna:
Bihar's first all-women police station was opened in Nalanda
district Monday. The station will deal exclusively with crimes
against women, officials said.
The police station was inaugurated by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar
at Biharsharif in Nalanda, his home district, some 100 km from
here.
Nalanda Superintendent of Police Jitendra Singh Rana said all the
10 officials at the station, including eight constables, are
women.
"Sub-Inspector Anju Kumari has been made the SHO (station house
officer)," he said.
All SHOs of the district have been asked to transfer cases related
to atrocities on women to this station.
The state government had announced last year that it will set up
40 all-women police stations.
"The government has sanctioned one all-women police station in
each police district," an official said.
It had also approved the creation of 643 posts, including 21
inspectors, 121 sub-inspectors, 101 assistant sub-inspectors, 80
havaldars and 324 constables for the stations, apart from
sanctioning a sum of Rs.25.44 crore.
