Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister
Mamata Banerjee on Friday inaugurated two police commissionerates
in Bidhannagar and Barrackpore in the state, aimed at ensuring
better functioning of the force.
She said her government had opened four
commissionerates and another two would be opened in Haldia and
Krishnanagar shortly.
Addressing at the inaugural function, Banerjee said
Bidhannagar municipality would be converted into corporation
in line with Kolkata Municipal Corporation and the same was
expected in a year's time.
Calling for better police-public relationship, the
chief minister said her government was seized with the
housing problem of the force and would do everything for the
policemen and their families.
However, she said that the police ought to be strict
in the interest of maintaining law and order.
