Navi Mumbai Police to Expand with New Belapur Division
The government is creating a new police division in Navi Mumbai to help keep things safe as the city grows.
They're splitting the area into three zones: Vashi, Belapur, and Panvel.
The new Belapur zone will get extra officers and money.
This is happening because the city is getting bigger, with more people and more traffic, especially with the new airport coming.
This change should help the police manage everything better and keep the city safer.
Maharashtra government approved a new Belapur Police Division in Navi Mumbai.
The restructuring is to address increasing demands from population growth and infrastructure.
The Belapur Division will be Zone-2, with Vashi as Zone-1 and Panvel as Zone-3.
The new division includes a DCP and two ACP posts with a budget of Rs 38.18 lakh.
The Navi Mumbai Police Commissionerate was established on November 19, 1994.
