On Thursday, the Ministry of Home Affairs released the list of top 10 police stations in India for the year 2020. The list has been released according to Prime Minister Modi’s direction while he addressed the 2015 Director General of Police (DGP) conference in Kutch, Gujarat.

According to the press release issued by the ministry, the survey was conducted under “challenging circumstances” due to the Covid pandemic. Surprisingly this year, police stations from small towns and rural areas have come in the vast majority which was also pointed by Home Minister Amit Shah. No police station belonging to any metropolitan city in India got a chance to enter the list of top 10 performing police stations in 2020.

As per the release, top 10 performing police stations were selected out of a total of 16,671 police stations. For the second phase 75 police stations were shortlisted out of which the top 10 police stations were selected.
