Centre Slashes Assam Police Modernisation Funds Despite State’s Rs 150 Cr Boost

Assam Cabinet approved ₹150 crore for police infrastructure, but Centre’s funding for modernisation has sharply declined. From ₹26.4 crore in 2021-22, MHA support dropped to ₹6.58 crore in 2023-24—a 70% cut. Assam, along with Manipur and Mizoram, saw the steepest drops. Poor infrastructure, lack of vehicles, and incomplete CCTV coverage remain concerns. It’s unclear if Assam sought lower funds or if the Centre reduced allocations unilaterally.
