Amit Shah Lays Stone for Composite Indoor Shooting Range at Police Academy

Hyderabad: Union Home Minister Amit Shah virtually laid the foundation stone for the construction of a composite indoor shooting range (CISR) at the city-based Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy (NPA) on Sunday.

He was participating in the 20th Foundation Day of the National Disaster Response Force in Vijayawada.

CISRs are used to train military personnel to improve their shooting skills and prepare for challenging scenarios. They are equipped with advanced target systems and control software, which can help to improve shooting skills. They also have several safety features.

Academy director Amit Garg and other senior officials attended the event.

The shooting range is meant to boost the basic training programme of IPS probationers at the NPA. Equipped with state-of-the-art features, which makes it one of its kind among police organisations, the facility will bring down the turn-around time for training batches as the probationers need not travel to nearby firing ranges.
