The Ministry of Home Affairs had in October conducted an annual survey of police stations for the rankings.
The survey was conducted based on the data of crime record bureau in respect of crime against women, property offenses, crime against weaker sections, missing persons and unidentified dead persons.
The survey included identification and evaluation of the standard of service delivery and techniques of improvement in policing.
Maintenance of the police station, its approachability and citizen’s feedback were some of the other key parameters in the survey.
Congratulating Inspector Das and his team on their achievement, the state’s police department in its statement said policing in Kharsang area is a challenging task as there is a frequent moment of anti-social elements who also indulge in extortion activities.
“This is an exemplary achievement,” the statement added.
The Kharsang Police Station was established in 1990.
