The building stands adjacent to the existing south police station (another name for rural PS).
The ramp is constructed in the ground floor, along with steps leading to the office of the circle inspector.
However, the only mode of reaching the office of Dy SP in the first floor is by stairs.
When it comes to lodging a complaint, there may be chances of even handicaps knocking on the doors of the police. The ramp will largely benefit them.
IGP (southern range) A S N Murthy told Deccan Herald, this follows a missive from the office of the commissioner for persons with disabilities received in the year 2009.
According to the letter, that was initially sent to the office of DG and IG of Police, all the police stations should facilitate the movement of specially-abled.
The new police stations should be constructed on the same module, while the existing stations should get it done.
To see to it that it’s effectively implemented, the IGP has issued instructions asking the inspectors and circle police inspectors to come with the status report to the next meeting.
The ramp if constructed will also benefit elderly people who find it difficult to climb up the stairs too owing to age related illness.
The southern range that comprises five districts- Mysore (barring commissionerate limits), Mandya, Chamarajanagar, Kodagu and Hassan has a total of 111 police stations. It includes 15 sub-divisions, 34 circle police inspectors and 58 outposts.
The irony here is only a few among them have adhered to the rule, according to sources. It is also a matter of relief when compared to Mysore city where none of the police stations have paid heed to it.
The city alone has 21 stations including three of traffic, and none have created the facility. To top it all, the office of police commissioner stands as a grave example, rued a social activist on condition of anonymity.
