Mysuru city will soon have two new police stations — one for Economic Offences and Narcotics, and the other for cybercrime.
Disclosing this to presspersons in Mysuru on Tuesday, City Police Commissioner A. Subramanyeshwara Rao said he hoped the two new police stations would become functional in a month’s time. Though the government had sanctioned additional staff, the existing manpower will be posted at the two new police stations for the time being, till the process of recruitment is completed.
Though a cybercrime police station already exists in the city, Mr. Rao said the proposed station will come under the jurisdiction of the Mysuru city police handling cases referred by the city police.
The existing station, housed on the Jayalakshmipuram Police Station premises, handles cases from Hassan, Mandya, Kodagu and Chamarajanagar districts also. The dependence of the city police on this station, which functions under the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), will come down.
