In a novel bid to help common people with filing of complaints, police department has set up a 'city civic centre' in the new office of deputy commissioner of police (DCP) zone-6 and joint commissioner of police (JCP) of sector 2. The centre was inaugurated by Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Friday.
DCP Zone-6 Sachin Badshah told DNA, "The city civic centre will have personnel to keep a tab on the complaints and applications submitted by people. A computer database maintaining records of all such applications is another feature of the centre."
An official will also be posted at the centre to help people with the information they seek under the Right to Information Act (RTI). Modi inaugurated the new office at Khokhra on Friday. Modi arrived amid tight security at around 6:30 pm.
As soon as he entered the premises of the new office, he was greeted by BJP workers and supporters. Modi arrived along with home minister Amit Shah. Senior police officials, including JCP (traffic) Atul Karwal, DCP (crime) Abhay Chudasma and DGP SS Khandwavala, were also present on the occasion.
Before entering the office, Modi garlanded the statue of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya. Police personnel greeted Modi with slogans of 'Bharat Mata ki Jai'.
Modi could be seen asking security personnel to stay away, saying there was no reason to fear for his safety. The new three-storyed building has departments, such as reader room, record room and other departments to handle police work.
Models of the newly-built Maninagar police station, coastal police stations in Bhavnagar and Junagadh and some other police stations have also been showcased in the new office.
