These police stations are either in a dilapidated condition or were in rented buildings which only caused a nuisance for public, but also police officials. Ashraf said the working environment around a person left impact on his/her attitude, performance and efficiency etc.
The construction of new state of the art buildings of police stations for police officials was part of their initiatives for the welfare of the force.
