Guwahati: Growing concerns are mounting over the state of the Dhubri Sadar Police Station, as residents point to frequent power outages and structural decay as major obstacles to effective law enforcement. Local observers warn that the lack of a reliable electricity backup leaves the facility in darkness during nighttime hours, hindering the police force's ability to respond to emergencies.
Video footage circulating throughout the community shows the station operating without power, fueling criticism from civil society groups and concerned citizens. Beyond the electrical issues, the building itself is reportedly in a state of disrepair. Locals argue that the current infrastructure is insufficient for a district headquarters that carries the heavy responsibility of maintaining public order.
These operational challenges come as the town experiences a rise in property-related crimes, including robbery, burglary, and theft. The combination of these incidents and the station's poor condition has caused public anxiety and lowered confidence in local policing. Residents are now calling on the Superintendent of Police, the district administration, and the state Home Department to intervene.
Demands from the community include immediate structural renovations, the installation of a dependable power system, and improved crime-prevention patrols. Citizens maintain that upgrading the facility is a necessary step to restore safety and trust in the district's law enforcement efforts.
