Pune City Police Commissionerate is expanding its network by adding seven new police stations, raising the total number of stations in the city from 32 to 39. The new police stations are being set up in Kalepadal, Ambegaon, Baner, Wagholi, Nanded City, Phursungi, and Kharadi.
The creation of these police stations follows the division of existing stations: Kalepadal has been formed by splitting Hadapsar, Wanawadi, and Kondhwa stations; Ambegaon from Bharati Vidyapeeth; Baner from Chatuhshrungi; Wagholi from Lonikand; Nanded City from Sinhagad Road; Phursungi from Lonikalbhor and Hadapsar; and Kharadi from Chandan Nagar and Lonikand.
Each new station will be equipped with a police inspector, assistant inspector, sub-inspector, assistant sub-inspector, constables, and other staff. The new infrastructure will enhance police coverage in these rapidly growing areas of Pune.
