In a recent survey that involved evaluation of 45 police stations by area residents, Kamla Market and Janakpuri have emerged as the best and worst police station respectively.
This was revealed in a statement issued by the Delhi Police on Tuesday which said that the evaluation was based on responses generated by a questionnaire that the participants were made to fill. Around 5,000 citizens took part in the survey carried out by a global agency in coordination with the vigilance unit of the Delhi Police last month.
“The analysis of the filled up forms was done by an independent global body called Altus Global Alliance, on globally accepted methods and parameters such as community orientation, physical conditions, equal treatment, transparency, accountability and detention conditions,” read the statement.
This was a part of the Global Police Station Visitors’ Week that is being organised by them for the past few years in six countries across the globe and was carried out in other parts of India as well.
While Kamla Market topped the chart with a perfect 100 out of 100, following it closely was South-East district’s Chittaranjan Park scoring 98.95. The bottom two slots were occupied by Janakpuri (36.23) and Seelampur (48.65). The average score of the 45 police stations was 83.38 compared, a notch higher than the 79.44 that participating police stations across the country averaged.
Based on the survey results, the police stations are classified as excellent (scoring 84 and above), more than adequate (68-84), adequate (52-68), inadequate (36-52) and totally inadequate (below 36).
