The state-of-the-art facility accommodates up to 10 police officers simultaneously for practice. Despite facing opposition from the local community and BJP MLA Ram Kadam, who insisted on finding an alternative location, Kadam acknowledged the need for the facility and foresees a potential relocation in the future.
