Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai virtually inaugurated eight new cyber police stations and police residential and police station buildings, constructed for Rs 255 crore across various districts of State on Wednesday. The inauguration was held virtually from the Police Headquarters in Nava Raipur. The Chief Minister extended his congratulations to the people of State and to police personnel for this significant initiative. Addressing the programme, Chief Minister Sai stated that the day marked an extremely auspicious milestone for the Police Department, as development works worth Rs 255 crore were being dedicated to State. He stated that the presentation clearly showed that the cyber police stations, SDOP offices, police outposts, transit hostels, and residential buildings have been constructed in a modern, well-designed, and highly convenient manner.

 

Appreciating the agencies involved for ensuring quality construction, the Chief Minister stated that these facilities would motivate police officers and personnel to work in a “positive and supportive environment,” enabling them to discharge their duties with greater efficiency and commitment. The Chief Minister further stated that it has been the consistent effort of the state government to provide better housing and workplace facilities to employees and officers. Such initiatives, he said, would strengthen the law-and-order system across Chhattisgarh and improve public safety. He described the inauguration as a strong beginning that would also help reinforce the security framework in the state’s remote and sensitive regions. Deputy Chief Minister and Home Minister Vijay Sharma stated that the state government is continuously working to exercise effective control over cybercrimes by establishing cyber police stations across multiple locations.

 

He informed that eight new cyber police stations have been inaugurated, including in Jashpur, Raigarh and Rajnandgaon districts.

Expressing gratitude to the Chief Minister for approving and inaugurating the Rs 255 crore worth of construction works and the eight new cyber police stations, Sharma extended his congratulations and best wishes to all stakeholders associated with the project.
