Baneshwor Police Station Building Reconstructed After Arson

Kathmandu. The Baneshwor Police Station building in New Baneshwor, Kathmandu, which was damaged by arson during the Genji movement, has been handed over to the police after its reconstruction was completed today. The building was handed over by the Building Maintenance and Restoration Committee after completing the reconstruction work in a special program. The committee stated that the building's maintenance and restoration cost approximately 1 crore 50 lakh rupees. Police Inspector General Dan Bahadur Karki, Member of Parliament Ranju Darshana, Sunil KC, along with high-ranking officials and local representatives, were present at the inauguration and handover ceremony of the restored building. The movement's angry mob had caused significant damage to the station's physical infrastructure, leading to problems in service delivery and security management. Immediately after, a building maintenance and restoration committee was formed at the local level under the convenorship of Captain Ramesh Shrestha, and the reconstruction work was rapidly advanced. The police administration believes that with the handover of this modern and well-equipped reconstructed building, security service delivery in the Baneshwor area will become more organized and effective.
