The police have begun operations from the Dharavi police chowkie that was embroiled in controversy. A police sub-inspector and a couple of constables were deputed to it on Thursday. Police sources suggest that normal work will start in a few days.

Dharavi beat chowkie number 1, known as the Dhobi Ghat police chowkie, was reconstructed by an NGO, Dharavi Nagrik Seva Samiti (DNSS), through public contribution after it had been pulled down by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
