Police station for NRIs
An exclusive police station for Non Resident Indians (NRIs) was opened in the city to ensure timely redressal of cases. Also, a police station to track cases of electricity theft was set up.
Quick Reaction Team formed
In the last month of the year, after India was rattled by the events that unfolded in Mumbai, the city formed its own Quick Reaction Team to tackle all eventualities. Another incident, however, highlighted the defenceless state of the city. On December 17, an unattended briefcase was found under the Dholewal Overbridge. The police had to wait for over three hours for the lone bomb disposal squad in the state to reach the city and conduct a check.
