Commissioner of Police V. Balakrishnan inaugurated the booth which has been a long-felt need for thousands of customers visiting the commercial area. Located close to a number of commercial establishments, the booth, which is equipped with CCTV cameras and other gadgets, is meant to boost the visibility of field police force in the high footfall area.
Since round-the-clock policing is required at that point, the booth will also be a temporary shelter for policemen who control traffic in extreme weather conditions, according to a field-level officer.
