Initial ground work on renovations at the Boroko cells are going well as contractors are moving in to fix up the plumbing and the ceiling fixtures to ensure better ventilation in the holding rooms.
NCD Central police commander Sylvester Kalaut tells Loop PNG that the work is at a costing of K500,000
To date the work is running within budget.
He adds that there are also plans in place for the set up of a courtroom to hear minor cases in the station.
Kalaut says he is encouraged by the progress made as it is falling within the set deadline of the renovation, with remandees to be moved in by mid-May once all work is completed.
