Punjab to add 3 new NRI police stations

Three more police stations meant exclusively to cater to Non-Resident Indians are being set up by Punjab police, said state minister Bikram Singh Majithia.
The three new NRI police stations are to come up in Jalandhar (rural), Ludhiana (rural) and Amritsar.
Majithia, the state minister for NRI Affairs, said that the three new stations would be in addition to the six set up in 2008 at Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur, Ludhiana, Moga, Nawan Sehar and Kapurthala.
He said that according to Punjab government orders, no FIR is to be registered against any NRI without a prior probe by a Deputy Superintendent of Police.

In case an NRI was dissatisfied with the investigation at a lower level, he could directly approach the IG (community division) at police headquarters, Majithia said.
