Three police stations added to Bengaluru city police limits

Bengaluru: Three police stations, which fall under Bengaluru Rural and Ramanagara districts, have been brought under the jurisdiction of the Bengaluru city police commissionerate.

They are Avalahalli and Hebbagodi, both in Bengaluru district, and Kumbalagodu in Ramanagara.

"The administrative control and jurisdiction of these police stations are yet to be handed over by the districts and taken over by the Bengaluru city police. Hence, it is requested that the above-mentioned three police stations, along with the existing staff from police constables to sub-inspectors, should be handed over and taken over immediately," DG&IGP MA Saleem stated in a letter.

"The existing staff of these police stations, from police constables to sub-inspectors, will continue to work in the same place on an OOD basis from Bengaluru and Ramanagara districts to the Bengaluru city police for one month, within which they should be replaced by the staff of the Bengaluru city police. As per government notifications in references 3 and 4, reorganisation of jurisdiction through inclusion and exclusion of villages to the jurisdiction of the Bengaluru city police and Bengaluru and Ramanagara districts has also been ordered, and the same should be implemented immediately," he added.

The state police chief also directed the Bengaluru Police Commissioner and the Inspector General of Police (Central Range) to comply by Friday.
