Daijiworld Media Network – Puttur (SP)

Puttur, Feb 15: Sources have revealed, that the police department is actively considering the practicability of relocating some of its offices like the district rural police office, office of the district armed police, district police training school etc., at Koila in the taluk. The department is badly in need of additional land, because of the setting of the police commissionerate in Mangalore.

Once the commissionerate starts operating at its full potential in Mangalore, the offices of the district superintendent of police and the office of the western range inspector general of police will be shifted out of the district headquarters. Most likely, Puttur will be the rural centre of the district police. Animal husbandry department has in its possession, about 800 acres of land in Koila, of which the police department proposes to seek 100 acres for setting up its units.

Earlier, the department reportedly, had considered the possibility of choosing a site near Mani village. But, as the government has sufficient lands in Koila, it is said, the idea of choosing Koila for certain district level police offices, is gaining round.
