People in Rumphi District are now happy with the construction of Chinyolo Police Unit that will contribute towards eradicating cases of defilement, early marriages and other crimes in the area.

Sinior Chief Mwankhunikira said it has almost cost k25 million for the work to be done, he said this on Monday during official opening of Police Unit Chinyolo.

‘’The challenge was that people had to travel to Rumpi Police Station to report cases which is very far’’, he said.

Mwankhunikira said the police unit would promote investment in the area as business people would be assured of security of their property and lives.

He urged the community to work closely with the Police in fighting crime in area.
