On the issue of shifting of the check gate from the bazaar to the nearby police station, the SP said local police officials have cited several reasons for the move and he has asked them to give the reasons in writing.
“The temporary check post belongs to the forest department. The Kimin police told me that the forest department has been pressurizing them to vacate it. The bazaar people also wanted the same. Moreover, there are also parking problems,” the SP said.
