Police introduces Beat Booth in rural areas

Excelsior Correspondent

AKHNOOR, Apr 6: Police Sub Division Akhnoor in order to increase surveillance & monitoring in rural areas flanked by International Border, Line of Control and Highway has come up with unique and innovative idea of Beat Booth. These beat booths shall be designated in each beat of all the police stations to make accessibility of police more frequent & effective.
This will also ensure prompt response and mobility in case of exigencies as there shall be more frequent touring and visits of police officers and officials in these beat booths .
Rural areas being vast and far are hard to dominate effectively and this beat booth system shall enhance capabilities of police for Rural patrolling. And it will definitely help in better monitoring and surveillance of areas and persons with suspicious backgrounds with active participation of public.
Beat Booths shall have detailed information of all villages and mohallas and also contact numbers under provision of Dial your police station & Dial your police Subdivision for the assistance of general public. The flexes / boards mentioning beat number and other details were affixed by SDPO Akhnoor Mohan Sharma and SHO Akhnoor Tariq Ahmad under supervision of SP Rural Brijesh Sharma.
The aim of designating beat booths is to strengthen the policing at ground level and to make redressal of public grievances at their doorsteps.
