Assam Police to Get Funds as Central Aid Dwindles
The Assam government is giving Rs 150 crore to improve the police's buildings and equipment.
But, the money the central government gives for this has dropped a lot recently.
For example, some police stations get flooded during rain.
This makes people worried about whether the police will have what they need.
The new money from the state government could help if it's used well.
Assam government approved Rs 150 crore for police infrastructure.
Central funding for Assam Police modernization has declined significantly.
MHA funding dropped over 70% in two years.
Funding pattern between Centre and State is 90:10.
The state funds, if used efficiently, could resolve infrastructural issues.
