The city has added IT City police station to intensify the security cover in Aero City and surrounding areas. It is the 21st station in the district.
The station has begun operations on temporary basis at Bakarpur police chowki, before its construction is completed.
Authorities have identified 2.5 acre near Bawa Whitehouse Road and submitted a proposal to Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) for its allotment. Sharing details, Mohali senior superintendent of police Sandeep Garg said that the need of setting up a police station was felt following reports of thefts and snatchings in the area.
“The presence of police stations will instil confidence among the residents and keep anti- social elements at bay,” added Garg.
To begin with 26 cops will be deployed at the police station. For now, complaints received at the station will be registered at Sohana police station.
