NURMAHAL
The Nurmahal police are reeling under an acute staff shortage. There are only 26 police personnel against a
sanctioned strength of 106 personnel.
Of the nine sanctioned posts of assistant sub-inspectors, seven are lying vacant, out of 14 sanctioned posts
of head constables, 12 are vacant, while of the 80 posts of constables, 70 are lying vacant.
Sources said Home Guards volunteers were doing the job of constables, patrolling had been reduced, and investigations were suffering. Sources said the shortage of constables is a serious problem being faced by the munshi to deal with local complaints.
Inquiries revealed that 29 police personnel are deployed at Divya Jayoti Jagriti Sansthan, Nurmahal. Nakodar Deputy Superintendent of Police, Sukhpal Singh, said that we are comfortably manning the police stations of the sub-division.
