In view of the rapid increase in population and increase in number of cases filed particularly in Chauliganj and Cuttack Sadar police stations, plans are afoot to bifurcate these two police stations soon, Cuttack-Bhubaneswar police Commissioner R P Sharma said.
The city now has 24 police stations including a Mahila PS and two Bidyut thanas.
"The CRRI police station is already on cards. But due to non-availability of land, the police station is yet to come. Similarly, there are plans to bifurcate the Cuttack Sadar police station to carve out a fresh one at a suitable location", the police commissioner said.
The PS is now being manned by an inspector, four SIs and four ASIs.
