Ranchi: Many police stations in the state capital are now overcrowded with seized vehicles, including trucks, cars, and bikes, causing an acute space shortage on their premises.
A case in point is Chutia police station. Despite having a small campus, the compound holds several vehicles which were seized for various traffic violations. With its campus now full, the officers are now keeping dozens of vehicles, including cars and trucks, on the road, causing traffic impediments.
On Tuesday, there was a large traffic inflow in the Chutia area due to a nearby diversion, causing congestion. The seized vehicles stationed in front of the station intensified the problem.
Talking about the issue, a local police officer stated, "Some of the vehicles are lying in the station for a very long time. We hardly have parking space for our staff inside the premise."
An officer of Sukhdevnagar police station said, "Due to a shortage of space, we also have to keep one vehicle over the other at the station here."
Seized articles are kept as exhibits of courts in various cases and can be disposed of only after the processes related to them are completed.

After permission from the courts, the exhibits are either returned to the owner if he or she is known or are auctioned.
Inspector general (South Chhotanaour zone) Manoj Koushik said a proposal is being moved to the police headquarters for a centralized stocking place for all exhibits of city police stations. He added that the plan would be implemented with the prior permission of the respective courts.
Koushik said, "The centralized storing space would be manned by an in-charge. The exhibits would be moved on the orders of the respective courts. It would enable us to make the local police stations spacious and more beautiful."
