Mangaluru, Aug 25: The 132-year-old Mangaluru north police station located at Bunder has been now renovated under the initiation of the then inspector Govind Raju who was serving there from 2019 to 2021.

The police station is one of the oldest buildings and is an eye-catching structure. The building was in dilapidated condition and inspector Govind Raju showed his interest towards renovating the building.

The inspector took help from the locals and renovated the building. The roof, floor, paint, electric work, parking shed and flag post was all repaired and renovated at a cost of Rs 7-8 lac.

Police commissioner N Shashi Kumar was awestruck with the building and shared the history of the building on social media. He later visited the police station. The building was built in the year 1889 spending Rs 16,000 on a 0.67-acre land.

Shashi Kumar was accompanied by DCP Hariram Shankar, B P Dinesh Kumar, ACP Hegde and others.
