The neighborhood’s residents have proposed a new signage. We are appreciative of the Bachirawa people.

An important step in preserving peace and order in the area has been acknowledged as the collaboration between the police and the community. Bachirawa villagers have been thanked by the police for their assistance in settling the dispute and for erecting a new signage at the station.
