With the election Model Code of Conduct (MCC) in place, the commissioning of the new multistoreyed buildings constructed to house Fort Police Station and the Sessions Court Police Station in Tiruchi is expected to be delayed.
The Tamil Nadu Police Housing Corporation Ltd. had constructed the buildings for the two stations which fall within the Tiruchi City Police Commissionerate. Official sources said the new buildings, which had been constructed at a cost of over ₹6 crore, had been handed over to the Tiruchi City Police. However, the shift to the new buildings would take time as the Model Code of Conduct was still in place, the sources said.
The Model Code of Conduct came into effect on March 16 when the Election Commission announced the general elections. The counting of votes is scheduled to take place on June 4. Only after the model code is withdrawn by the Election Commission, the new buildings are expected to be inaugurated.
