# 6th Assam Police Battalion gets first gateway after 61 years 2026-08-15T13:26:06+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The 6th Assam Police Battalion in Silchar received its first dedicated main gateway on Friday, 61 years after it was raised in the Barak Valley. Cabinet Minister Kaushik Rai inaugurated the structure at the battalion headquarters on Kathal Road in the presence of Commandant Dr Pradip Saikia, police personnel, retired employees and local residents. Rai said the gateway was built through the battalion’s initiative without waiting for government funding. Saikia said construction began after a request to former Cachar senior superintendent of police Numal Mahatta, with the remaining work completed by battalion personnel. Rai also asked banks to assess the possibility of opening a branch and ATM nearby. ## Coverage - assamtribune.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
