strength of one Sub-inspector, two Head-Constables and five Constables who were
deputationists and ex-servicemen. The
second police station came at Androth in the same year. Police stations in other inhabited islands
were established in 1960s . The outpost
at Bitra
under Chetlath Police Station and the aid post at Bangaram under Agatti
Police Station respectively started functioning during the year 199. Criminal
Penal Code - CrPC and Indian Penal Code - IPC were extended to this Union
Territory from November 01, 1967. From
