Home Minister opens new police station building in Arilova Visakhapatnam

Home Minister V. Anitha inaugurated a new police station building in Arilova, Visakhapatnam, on December 8, 2024. The new facility replaces a cramped cyclone shelter that had housed the station for years. The new building, constructed on over an acre of land for around ₹5 crore, includes modern amenities. Anitha noted that the previous government had delayed the project since the foundation was laid in 2018. The Home Minister announced plans for further construction to accommodate additional enforcement units, with an additional ₹2.5 crore allocated. Police personnel expressed relief over the improved conditions, which now include adequate space and facilities.
