Sambhal (Uttar Pradesh) [India], December 30 (ANI): Sambhal Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Shrish Chandra on Monday said that the construction work of the police post near Jama Masjid in Sambhal is being done at a fast pace and will be ready in a few days.
Speaking to ANI, ASP Chandra said, "The construction of the post is currently in progress. It will be established as soon as possible. So that the force staying here can stay comfortably."

"The construction of the post is being expedited due to the urgent need for accommodation, as a large number of forces are currently living outdoors in the cold. Since there are no nearby facilities, the work is being completed at a fast pace. The post will be ready in a few days," ASP Chandra said.
Work is currently underway to build a police post in the vacant ground near Jama Masjid in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal. Rapid Action Force (RAF) has been deployed near the construction site to ensure security.
