“The state police force will be provided with the necessary cyber labs, forensic labs and advanced investigative materials. Issues related to police houses will also be addressed,” The chief minister said, adding that the department would not lack funds.
Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and Home Minister Anil Deshmukh were also present at the conference.
