The ceiling plaster of a room at a three-storey police station building in Thane city fell recently. While nobody was injured, it is a grave situation and this must trigger prompt action. This took place at the Wagle Estate police station building in Thane district, which is approximately 35 years- old. A portion of the ceiling plaster of a police inspector’s room located on the first floor fell down. The remaining portion of the ceiling was also in a dangerous condition, a report in this paper cited.

Repairs to the said building must be undertaken without delay. It should also put the spotlight on a larger picture about the state of police stations and even chowkies across the city.
