The fire at Banaswadi Police Station on Wednesday that damaged more than 20 vehicles may be an isolated incident, but several other police stations across the city remain vulnerable to similar hazards.

Thousands of seized vehicles are gathering dust within police station premises and even on the footpaths outside stations across the city. “Several police station premises look like garages or abandoned land. Some of the vehicles are nearly a decade old,” a senior officer from the north division said.
