Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Dimapur, Khrusa Keyho, inaugurated a Police Assistance Booth and Public Toilet below the Flyover Bridge near Blue Hills Bus Station on Wednesday.
The facilities was built and donated by DMC Councillor of Ward No. 5, Kuhoi Zhimo, to address the needs of both the public and law enforcement personnel in the busy area.
DCP Khrusa Keyho assured that the police assistance booth would operate 24/7, offering essential services to the public at all times. He also noted that the newly constructed public toilet was designed for public convenience.
He expressed gratitude to Kuhoi Zhimo for his contribution, on behalf of Nagaland Police and the Commissioner of Police, Dimapur.
Speaking at the event, Kuhoi Zhimo stressed the importance of a public toilet for visitors, particularly the elderly and differently-abled. He also emphasized the need for an upgraded police assistance booth, noting that while government support is vital, citizen contributions are equally crucial.
Zhimo quoted “The police assistance booth will help personnel carry out their duties more efficiently, both day and night,”, while also praising the developmental vision of chief minister, Dr. Neiphiu Rio and deputy chief minister Y. Patton.
Dimapur Urban Council Chairmen Federation (DUCCF) president, Zasiviko Zakiesato, also addressed the gathering, pointing out that public expectations from DMC councillors have grown over time.
He urged all councillors to meet their commitments to their respective wards and praised Zhimo for setting a positive example. The police assistance booth is expected to play a crucial role in maintaining law and order in busy areas like Hongkong Market, the Flyover Bridge, and Blue Hills Bus Stand.
Meanwhile, the public toilet will offer essential sanitation facilities, particularly for women, the elderly, and differently-abled individuals.
