Manipur's Police Station becomes India's best performing one

New Delhi, Dec 3: Manipur's Nongpok Sekmai police station has been chosen as the best performing Police Station in the whole country. AWPS-Suramangalam police station in Tamil Nadu's Salem district and Kharsang in Arunachal Pradesh's Changlang district have been adjudged as the second and third best performing police stations, respectively.

 

Back in 2015, PM Narendra Modi had directed that parameters should be laid down for grading police stations and assessing their performance based on feedback, while he was addressing the Director Generals of Police during Kutch Conference, in Gujarat. This year's survey for best police stations was conducted under challenging circumstances by Ministry of Home Affairs.

 

The survey was conducted in accordance with the govt guidelines regarding the strict lockdown and pandemic. It was difficult to access police stations located in remote areas during the Corona pandemic due to various restrictions on movement.

 

Home Minister Amit Shah has informed that, the ranking process commenced with shortlisting of the best performing Police Stations, in each state on the basis of addressing, property offence, crime against women, crime against weaker sections and missing persons. He also added that a vast majority of the police stations short-listed from thousands of police stations in the country are police stations located in small towns and rural areas.
