With the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) in place in view of the the ongoing general elections held in phases in different States, the commissioning of the new multi-storeyed buildings constructed to house Fort and Sessions Court police stations in Tiruchi is expected to take some time
With the election Model Code of Conduct (MCC) in place, the commissioning of the new multistoreyed buildings constructed to house Fort Police Station and the Sessions Court Police Station in Tiruchi is expected to be delayed.
The Tamil Nadu Police Housing Corporation Ltd. had constructed the buildings for the two stations which fall within the Tiruchi City Police Commissionerate. Official sources said the new buildings, which had been constructed at a cost of over ₹6 crore, had been handed over to the Tiruchi City Police. However, the shift to the new buildings would take time as the Model Code of Conduct was still in place, the sources said.
The Model Code of Conduct came into effect on March 16 when the Election Commission announced the general elections. The counting of votes is scheduled to take place on June 4. Only after the model code is withdrawn by the Election Commission, the new buildings are expected to be inaugurated.
At present, the Fort Police Station functions from a heritage building near the Town Hall close to the Government Museum. The new building has ground plus four floors constructed on a piece of land belonging to the police department at Chinthamani near the busy Chathram bus stand.
The new building to house the Sessions Court Police Station has been built in Bheema Nagar police quarters. Various facilities for the police personnel and the general public have been provided at both buildings, including provision of lift, ramp, and other facilities. The Tiruchi City Police headed by the Commissioner of Police has 14 police stations and four All Women Police Stations.
