Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren initiated a significant modernization effort for the state police by launching 1,485 new vehicles and inaugurating 12 advanced police stations. The vehicles, comprising 636 four-wheelers and 849 two-wheelers, are intended to enhance police mobility and response capabilities. This move is part of the state government’s plan to deploy 1,255 patrolling vehicles and 1,697 two-wheelers to bolster law enforcement.
The newly introduced vehicles, including Mahindra Bolero BS-6 models, will strengthen patrolling systems in urban and rural areas, facilitating quicker emergency responses and improved policing. Out of the distributed vehicles, 614 Boleros have been dispatched to various districts, while the rest have been assigned to Quick Response Teams and specialized units. Additionally, the Chief Minister virtually laid the foundation stones for 12 modern police station buildings in different districts.
These state-of-the-art police stations, to be built in various districts, will house four specialized police units under one roof, streamlining citizen access to police services. CM Soren emphasized the government’s commitment to prioritizing police force modernization to ensure a secure environment for all residents. The state is focused on bridging resource gaps and enhancing the police’s capabilities through advanced technology, equipment, and logistical support.
Senior officials from the Home Department and Police Headquarters also participated in the program to mark this significant development for the state police.
