Gurez:SRINAGAR, OCTOBER 23: The State Administrative Council (SAC) which met under the chairmanship of Governor, Satya Pal Malik approved creation of Police Sub- Division at Marwah in District Kishtwar.
SAC approved creation of nine posts for the Police Sub-Division, Marwah. The posts include one post each of Deputy Superintendent of Police, Head Constable and Selection Grade Constable, four posts of Constable and two posts of Constable (Ops).
SAC also approved creation of a Police Sub Division at Gurez, to be headquartered at Dawar in District Bandipora, and creation of one post of Deputy Superintendent of Police for the Police Sub Division, Gurez.
It would be pertinent to mention that Marwah and Gurez Sub Divisions encompass vast area mostly with tough terrain. The distance from Marwah to the District Headquarters at Kishtwar is about 70 Km via Dachhan and 250 Km via Sinthan Top. Similarly, the distance from Gurez to District Headquarters at Bandipora is over 65 Kms. Due to lack of proper accessibility to these areas, the grievance redressal in these areas needed further attention.
The creation of Police Sub- Divisions at Marwah and Gurez will bring people of these areas closer to civil and police administration and help to address their grievances effectively.
