The Wadala police station, one of the city's oldest, is finally moving to a new address by the end of this month. According to sources in the Mumbai police, the station, which was built in 1968, was declared unsafe by BMC in 2010 after which authorities were asked to vacate the premises.

However, since there was no alternate space available, cops wrote to the Mumbai Port Trust (MPT) asking them to either redevelop the police station or provide them an alternative space. MPT responded by saying that the occupants of the premises are responsible for its upkeep. For the past nine years, BMC kept writing letters, but was not able to get another location.
