Adazig Police Booth Inaugurated, Enhancing Local Law Enforcement Access

In a significant step toward enhancing public access to police services, a Police Booth was formally inaugurated at Adazig, under the jurisdiction of Police Station Baratang, on Thursday.

The inauguration ceremony was led by Ms. Shweta K. Sugathan, IPS, in the presence of Mr. Chandan G.S., SDPO Rangat, and SI Surjit Bhattacharjee, SHO, PS Baratang, along with other police officials and community members.

The establishment of the Adazig Police Booth fulfills a long-standing demand of residents, who previously had to travel long distances—often at night—to reach PS Baratang for lodging complaints or seeking assistance. The absence of a local police presence had posed serious challenges for timely grievance redressal and community safety.

With the operationalization of the new booth, locals can now expect quicker response times and more accessible police support, especially during emergencies. The initiative is part of the Andaman & Nicobar Police’s broader effort to decentralize policing services and strengthen public engagement.

Residents have welcomed the move, describing it as a much-needed and timely intervention. The new facility is expected to enhance law and order while fostering stronger ties between the police and the community.
