Importance: Himachal HPAS Prelims and Mains
What is the news?
- Nurpur shall be the police district.
Important Point:
- Nurpur of Kangra district will henceforth be the second police district after Baddi. An SP rank officer will be posted to the Nurpur Police District.
Reason:
- A case for the police district status for Nurpur on the plea that the area faced the issue of drug trade and was bordering Pathankot district of Punjab.
About Police District:
- The police district is a type of division of a geographical area patrolled by a police force.
- The determination of the geographical area of a police district necessarily depends on different circumstances.
- Physical characteristics sometimes have to be taken into account as affecting the demarcations of relationships, more frequently the occupations of the people and the number of the population. A district may be too small or too large for police requirements.
