Pune Police Propose Increasing Chowkis from 110 to 135 to Enhance Policing
Pune city police have proposed increasing the number of police chowkis from 110 to 135 to enhance grassroots policing and improve public access to law enforcement. The proposal, submitted to the state home department, responds to the city's rapid urban expansion, population growth, and evolving crime patterns. Officials emphasize that each of Pune's 45 police stations should have at least three chowkis to ensure quicker response and better coverage, especially in newly developed suburban areas. Approval from the home department is awaited.
