Kalimpong in need of more Police Stations and Out Posts
MUKESH SHARMA
Kalimpong, October 13:
As per the demarcation
of the Darjeeling hills, the Kalimpong Thana is at the gateway of the Kalimpong
Sub Division. Kalimpong, the largest Sub Division of the Darjeeling District
shares its boundariees with Sikkim, Dooars and Bhutan. However, for such a huge
Sub Division, a Thana and few Police Out Posts are not enough.
The Kalimpong MLA Dr
Harka Bahadur Chettri who is also the member of the State’s Home Department
Committee, himself believes that the number of Thanas Out Posts needs to be
increased. Speaking on this much felt need, the MLA informed that he will be
keeping forward the matter to the State’s Chief Minister and also at the State
Assembly.
The Kalimpong Thana
will be shifted to another place and the location will be converted into a
tourist spot, he added and said that the same will also be kept at the State
Assembly soon.
Another major issue
faced by the Sub Division is the lack of Police Stations in its remote areas.
Till the Police of the Kalimpong Thana or the nearby Out Posts reach the
incident spot, the culprits have already made their way towards the
neighbouring places further making it difficult for the Police Administration
to nab them.
Looking at the size of
the Sub Division and the ever increasing population here, there is also need of
increase in the numbers of Police personnel. Therefore, it has been informed
that the same will also be talked over by the MLA with the CM who is also the
head of the Home Department.
As compared to
Darjeeling which has a good number of tourist sopts such as Chowrasta, Mall
Road, etc. Kalimpong does not have anything as such. In lieu of a tourism spot
at the gateway of the Sub Division, there lies a Police Station. Hence, the
shifting of the Thana has now become a necessity.
