Visit date : 2013
Year of build : 1930's
Current status : Abandoned
 

This building dates from the 1930’s and sits on the banks of a major river. Over the years this specific location has not been the most perfect of sites, especially during monsoon time when the river regularly breaks its banks and floods the area. This probably has been the primarily reason why this former police station has sat vacant for many years.
All of the ground floor rooms have a clear dark brown water mark etched on their walls bearing evidence of the effects of all the flooding.

A nice original feature is the stations lockup cells located to the rear of the building. Years ago this very station had the dubious honour of having a mass break out, where prisoners had somehow escaped their cells and made their way out through a hole the roof! All escapees I believe were eventually recaptured.

Today, the building still sits abandoned (2016) with some evidence of partial cleanup and restoration work having been done in the last year.
