The James Street Police Station building was constructed in 1900 and served as the Ram Gopal Pet Police Station for a long period of 116 years until 2016 was once again handed over back to the Hyderabad City Police here on Wednesday.

Speaking on the occasion, Hyderabad Police Commissioner C.V. Anand said that the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) had completed renovation on the building and handed it over to the Hyderabad City Police.

Commissioner Anand stated that in the coming days, items belonging to the Ram Gopal Pet Police Station would be shifted back to this building, and its inauguration would be performed by the In-charge Minister for Hyderabad District, Sri Ponnam Prabhakar. He also noted the significant increase in the number of police vehicles and mentioned efforts are underway to provide adequate parking facilities for them. He urged the preservation of old (historically significant) structures in Hyderabad for future generations.

The Commissioner also informed that the Commissioner's office in Purani Haveli, belonging to the Hyderabad City Police, has been undergoing renovations for the past three years and is also nearing its inauguration. He added that once the Purani Haveli Commissioner's office is operational, he would discharge his duties from there every Friday.
