Summary:

GHAZIABAD: Police stations in Ghaziabad will soon be freed from scrapped vehicles. A visible change will appear at police stations in the next couple of months,” said the SP (city). However, till the time such a facility comes up, we have the option of auctioning such vehicles after seeking the court’s order. At many police stations, more than 50% of the space has been occupied by vehicles seized either during checking drives or are case properties in criminal cases.SP (city) Shlok Kumar, who is monitoring the auctioning of scrapped vehicles, said that recently 129 vehicles were auctioned from Khoda police station and around 30 vehicles would soon be removed from Indirapuram police station. The reclaimed space will be used for developing gardens or for constructing sports facilities.According to an estimate, there are over 1,500 unclaimed vehicles parked at 16 police stations in the district.A large number of abandoned or impounded cars and bikes, often covered in dust and ruins and lying in a heap, jostle for space on the premises, giving the impression of a junkyard..
