Bihar Government Greenlights Rs 172 Crore ERSS-112 and Police Data Centre Project in Patna
In a significant development for law enforcement infrastructure in Bihar, Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary announced on Thursday that the state government has approved the construction of a permanent building for the Emergency Response Support System (ERSS-112) and the state police data centre. The project will be situated in the Rajiv Nagar police station area of Patna, marking a major investment in modernising emergency services.
Project Details and Estimated Cost
The ambitious initiative is projected to be executed at an estimated cost of Rs 172 crore. This substantial investment will cover not only the construction of a modern building but also comprehensive provisions for furniture, technical infrastructure, and other essential facilities required for optimal functioning.
Architectural Design and Functional Layout
The proposed structure is designed as a B+2 and G+7 building, strategically planned to accommodate a range of critical functions. It will house modern offices, control rooms, server rooms, and specialised technical units dedicated to both ERSS-112 operations and the state police data centre. This integrated approach aims to create a cohesive hub for emergency management and data processing.
Advanced Technology and Operational Benefits
The facility will be equipped with cutting-edge technology to ensure swift, secure, and efficient handling of emergency calls and data generated across Bihar's extensive emergency response network. Deputy CM Choudhary emphasised that this modern police building will streamline administrative tasks while providing police personnel with a better, safer, and more convenient work environment. He stated, "This will lead to increased efficiency and effectiveness in policing, benefiting the general public."
Enhancing Law and Order Through Improved Coordination
Choudhary highlighted that the project represents a major step forward in strengthening law and order across the state. Key improvements expected include faster response times, enhanced efficiency of emergency services, and better coordination among various agencies such as police, fire services, ambulances, and other emergency responders. This integrated system is poised to transform how emergencies are managed in Bihar.
Strengthening Digital Capacity and Crime Control
The deputy CM further elaborated on the data centre's role, noting that it will significantly bolster the digital capacity, data security, and analysis systems of the Bihar Police. This technological upgrade will enable more scientific and faster crime control, surveillance, and investigation processes, ultimately contributing to a more robust and responsive policing framework.
Overall, this Rs 172 crore project underscores the Bihar government's commitment to modernising its emergency response infrastructure, with Patna's Rajiv Nagar set to become a central hub for advanced policing and public safety initiatives.
