HUBLI: Though Hubli-Dharwad is geographically and economically growing by the day, the police department has not seen many changes.
In Hubli, the second largest city in the State, most police stations are still functioning from rented buildings without any amenities.
There are 17 police stations, two outposts, four ACP offices and a commissioner’s office under the Hubli-Dharwad Police Commissionarate.
Only eight police stations, (3 in Dharwad), Police Commissioner’s office, one outpost and three ACP’s offices are functioning in government buildings. The rest are housed in rented buildings.
About nine police stations in Hubli - Bendigeri, Kasabhapet, Vidyanagar, Keshwapur, Gokul road, ACP traffic, Hubli, Hubli north Traffic, Hubli south traffic police station and Ashok Nagar outpost are in rented buildings.
There are no record rooms, armouries, place to keep seized property, rest room or waiting room.
The Dharwad town police station constructed in 1912 is in a dilapidated condition.
The department has sent a proposal to demolish it and construct a multi storey building to accommodate the ACPs office and Dharwad town police station with all modern facilities, but no action has been taken.
Talking to this website’s newspaper, A.L. Hullur, superintendent in the Commissioner’s office, Navangar said that three sites were purchased for a building for Vidyanagar police station, Keshwapur and Gokul road station.
The Government is yet to give its nod for the department to go ahead with the construction, he added.

Khadi certification: rethink likely on latest proposal
Khadi certification: rethink likely on latest proposal
The Hindu
HUBLI: There may be some rethinking on the latest proposal of the Khadi and Village Industries Commission to do away with the need to certify khadi.
An indication to this effect was available when a delegation of the Karnataka Development Forum, led by Patil Puttappa, called on the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the Congress President Sonia Gandhi in New Delhi on Friday.
Mr. Puttappa told The Hindu over phone from New Delhi that both the leaders had given assurances about safeguarding the interests of khadi.
The delegation, which among others comprised B.S. Patil, chairman of the Karnataka Khadi Gramodyog Samyukta Sangha, met the Prime Minister on Thursday and called on Ms. Gandhi today before leaving New Delhi.
Mr. Puttappa and Mr. Patil explained to the leaders the new proposal being considered by the Khadi and Village Industries Commission.
The proposal is to do away with the certification procedure thereby allowing any one to produce khadi.
Mr. Puttappa and Mr. Patil told the Congress President and the Prime Minister that such a policy would mean the end of khadi in the country.
Consequences
The consequences of the movement dying away were serious in the sense that the sector had been providing employment to many rural people with minimum investment.
The purity and sanctity of khadi would be lost, if the certification procedure was done away with and anything could be passed off as khadi, they said.
The delegation also called on the Minister for Railway, Lalu Prasad.
