*After repeated persuasions, the Government has given a green signal to sanction Rs two crore for the construction of District Police Complex, according to Mr Kanti Rana Tata, Superintendent of Police.

*It may be recalled here that former Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy laid foundation-stone four years ago for Chittoor Police Complex with an outlay of Rs 2.8 crores. It was decided to complete the construction of the complex within two years.

*Initially Rs 80 lakhs was sanctioned and the foundation level of the complex was completed. Due to non-receipt of funds, the construction of the complex has been put on hold for the last two years.


*Mr Kanti Rana Tata who assumed charge five months back could be able to influence the higher ups for the release of the balance budget to Chittoor Police Complex.

*Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, SP admitted that there was shortage of funds to complete the construction of Police Complex within the stipulated period. He exuded confidence that the complex would be completed at the earliest.

Traffic menace in Chittoor:

*Referring to the traffic menace at Chittoor district headquarters town, SP admitted that it was a difficult task to enforce the traffic rules in Chittoor town. He said the roads in Chittoor town were very narrow and encroachments were quite common. He instructed the Traffic Police Inspector to take immediate steps for restoring the defunct traffic signals in Chittoor town.
