Mangaluru, Oct 8: The rural police station here, which covers 17 villages, is being bifurcated for better policing and improved efficiency. The split will be affected within two weeks, said city police commissioner, M Chandra Sekhar.
"The rural station will function from its current location. The newly created station, which will be known as urban police station, will have its office in a rented accommodation near Brahma Baidarkala Garodi in Nagori, he explained. He said that there was demand for bifurcating the rural station because of the size of the area and population covered by it.
Pachchanady, Ulaibettu, Mallur, Bodantila, Neermarga, Adyar, Arkula, Kudupu and Tiruvail will fall under the rural station after the bifurcation, while urban police station will have jurisdiction over Alape, Maroli, Kankanady, Jeppinamogaru, Bajal, Kannur, Adamkudru areas, it is gathered.
