The new Sagari-II police station, with over 500 sanctioned personnel, may come up either at Aksa or Gorai beach, but will have its check-post and patrol boats across the city. Sources said the cost of the new police station, including the patrol boats, weapons, and construction, will be about Rs 5 crore.
"A coastal police station is very important. The decision has been taken keeping in mind the city's security," said Rakesh Maria, Mumbai police commissioner.
At present, the Yellow Gate and Sagari-I police stations look after the security of city's coastline. While the Sagari police station (I) only patrols the waters up to 12 nautical miles from the coast from Bandra Reclamation up to Borivli, the Yellow Gate police also take up cases of theft and other crimes that take place on land in its jurisdiction. The new coastal police station will be given areas from the existing Sagari police station to reduce the latter's load. The Sagari-II police station will also help launch operations of any kind, besides patrolling and security, and the staff will be given AK-47s, self-loading rifles and other sophisticated weapons, heavy search lights and patrolling trawlers.
Besides the specialized coastal police, the Sewri and Wadala police also man some portion of the waters in their respective jurisdictions.
Coastal policing has been in the focus after the 26/11 terror attacks, when 10 terrorists, including Ajmal Kasab, had sailed into Mumbai near Badhwar Park in Cuffe Parade in 2008. Mumbai district has a 114-km coast, of which the police monitor 12 nautical miles from the coastline. Beyond this limit, the Indian Navy and coast guard secure the waters.
* As per a state government resolution issued last week, the city will get a new coastal police station to monitor the waters to the first 12 nautical miles from the coastline
* After new coastal police station is operational, Sagari-I police station will man areas between TIFR in Colaba and Bandra jetty, while Sagari-2 police station will look after Bandra jetty up to Gorai beach, including the Bandra-Worli sea link
