Bihar's 'White Elephant' Police Station: Crores Wasted on Inaccessible Building
•A new police station in Bokhra block, Sitamarhi district, built at crores, stands 3 km from the main road in a field, inaccessible to police and public.
•The building lacks basic facilities like electricity and water; the current Bokhra police station still operates from an old agricultural building.
•A reporter had to walk 3 km through fields to reach the site; police vehicles cannot access it, especially during floods when the area is waist-deep in water.
•Local residents Manoj Kumar and Ravi Ranjan criticize the project as a waste of public funds and a planning failure, demanding a road.
•The non-operational station, meant to serve villages like Naya Tol, Bokhra, Katrol, and Garhaul Sharif, has become a haven for stray animals and anti-social elements.
