Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang on Saturday inaugurated the newly constructed police outpost at Deorali in Gangtok.

The Chief Minister was received by Arun Kumar Upreti, Minister for Rural Development and Cooperation, and Bhoj Raj Rai, Minister for Urban Development and Food and Civil Supplies.

The first and second floors house the Outpost IC Room, Second IC Room, staff room, separate holding cells for male and female detainees, kitchen pantry, dormitory, and sanitation facilities.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by Speaker MN Sherpa, cabinet ministers, area MLAs, advisors, Director General of Police, Secretary of Urban Development Department, chairpersons, DC Gangtok, DIGP Gangtok Range and CID, senior officials, SP Gangtok, councillors, and other departmental representatives.
