In a bid to bolster its policing infrastructure, the Bihar government has sanctioned Rs 172.80 crore for a permanent building housing the ERSS and State Police Data Center. Located in Patna’s Rajiv Nagar under Rajiv Nagar police station, the facility aims to equip law enforcement with cutting-edge tools.
Deputy CM Samrat Chaudhary shared the news on Thursday, highlighting how the new structure will facilitate smoother operations and better amenities for officers. ‘Modern buildings will fortify both administrative efficiency and emergency services,’ he remarked.
ERSS, India’s unified 112 emergency response system, relies on specialized centers to manage distress calls and alerts. This dedicated hub in Bihar will play a pivotal role in coordinating swift interventions during emergencies.
The decision comes amid a flurry of infrastructure upgrades. Just recently, approvals were granted for an IPS Mess in Patna, SP office in East Champaran, armory in Rohtas’ Dihri, and women’s barracks in Lakhisarai. Under Nitish Kumar’s NDA administration, these efforts underscore a strategic focus on secure, tech-enabled police stations.
Experts view this as a game-changer for Bihar’s law enforcement landscape. With enhanced data handling and response mechanisms, the state is gearing up to tackle urban challenges more effectively. Citizens can look forward to more reliable support in times of need, marking a new era in public safety infrastructure.
