Karnataka government approves establishment of six new police stations

Dedicated women's police stations will be set up in key areas of Bengaluru

Govt approved 85 additional officials to existing 28 law & order police stations

Bengaluru City’s law enforcement capabilities are set to expand significantly, thanks to the State Government’s recent decision.

The Karnataka government has given the green light for the establishment of six new police stations, with a particular emphasis on enhancing services for women’s safety.

This move comes in response to the alarming rise in crimes against women in the city. To address this issue, dedicated women’s police stations will be set up in various key areas of Bengaluru, including the north, central, west, north-east, Whitefield, and south-east regions.

Each of these stations will have a police inspector, supported by a team consisting of four police sub-inspectors, four assistant sub-inspectors, eight head constables, and 24 constables. This initiative aims to significantly improve safety for women in the city.

Two additional traffic police stations will also be established, one in the north at Chikkabanavara and the other in the west at Jnanabharati.

To reinforce the overall law and order situation, staff at existing police stations will be increased. The government has approved the allocation of 85 additional officials to the existing 28 law and order police stations.

In addition to these measures, the Central Crime Branch (CCB) will receive substantial support, with the authorization of 230 new personnel. Moreover, if required, additional buildings would also be provided to accommodate the expanding CCB operations.
