Work has commenced for construction of new residential quarters for police staff of the rank of constables, head constables, inspectors and sub inspectors on the outskirts of the city.
The police staff currently had been living in very old residential quarters which had prompted the State Government to provide them new quarters at Kurandi road on the city’s outskirts, official sources here informed.
The officials who get transferred to Jagdalpur from other parts of the State would also be able to get a new quarter with the construction of quarters underway in the city for the police personnel.
The Government has planned to construct quarters for all the police staff from the level of constables to the police inspectors at a single place.
This apart, there are plans to fix a quota for the quarters of the police personnel shifted from Narayanpur, Bijapur, Sukma, Dantewada and Kondagaon to Jagdalpur.
The colonies where the new quarters are coming up would also have educational and medical facilities, sources informed.
ASP SR Salam said work is underway in two projects for providing housing facilities to the police personnel in the district headquarters.
