Ahead of the assembly elections in West Bengal, a new South East Division (SED) of the Kolkata police, comprising a number of minority dominated and fringe areas, has been created. The newly created division, the sixth in the metropolis after South, North, Central, Port and Eastern Suburban Divisions, would comprise minority dominated and fringe areas comprising Tangra and Topsia in the east and Karaya, Lake, Gariahat and Ballygunj police stations in South. With the bifuraction of the Karaya and Lake police stations the division would soon comprise eight police stations.
"Since some of the areas are on the fringes and minority dominated and multi-religion and multi-lingual, vigil is required to maintain communal harmony” chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee said after inaugurating the newly created division.
