City police commissioner Sumit Sharan laid the foundation stone to construct the B-15 Rathinapuri police station at Sanganoor on Monday.

The station was functioning out of a rented building which was when the police department had written to the state government, seeking permission to construct a new one.

Subsequently, a resolution was passed by the city corporation to provide for a 10,956sqft land in Sanganoor in 2014. A government order for the same came in 2019.

Traffic police will occupy the ground floor, first and second floors will be allotted to law and order, and crime. A conference hall will also be set up on the third floor.
