Locals Donate Land for New Police Post in Myagdi, Nepal

Myagdi. Residents of Rakhu Bhagwati in Raghuganga Rural Municipality-2, Myagdi, have provided land free of cost for the construction of a police post building.

Raj Giri of Bhagwati provided three ropanis of land to the Rakhu Bhagwati Police Post. The land, valued at approximately NPR 1.4 million according to government rates, would fetch a higher price in the local market, stated Deputy Superintendent of Police Surya Bahadur Thapa of the District Police Office, Myagdi.

The District Police Office also honored the land donor Giri and his wife. Thapa mentioned that a budget and plan will be sought for the building construction now that the land has been secured. The Rakhu Bhagwati Police Post is currently operating from a rented building.

Police units in Darbang Area Police Office, Ghodepani, Babiyachaur, Galeshwor, Ratnechaur, Mangalaghat, Chimkhola, Tipling, Dana, and Ghar in Myagdi still do not have their own buildings.

These posts are being operated from community buildings and rented houses. Securing land has become the main challenge for the construction of police post buildings.

The building for the Singa Tatopani Police Post was recently constructed. Police posts in Beni District Police, Kalipul, Bhurung-Tatopani, Mauwaphat, and Takam have their own buildings.
