West Bengal Notifies First Dedicated NIA Police Station in Kolkata
West Bengal has established its first dedicated National Investigation Agency (NIA) police station in Kolkata's New Town, officially notified by the state government. This move, approved by the current Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) administration, allows the NIA to file FIRs directly in the state, expediting investigations of scheduled offences. The proposal had been pending under the previous Trinamool Congress government but was not implemented. The new station is the 17th NIA police station nationwide and will serve the entire state.
