Ranking of police stations is an annual exercise by the Ministry of Home Affairs and the stations are judged on the basis of 165 different parameters like crime rate, investigation and disposal of cases, infrastructure, and delivery of public service. About 20 per cent of the total points are also based on feedback about the police station from citizens, sources said.

Notably, Aska police station had bagged the first spot in the state in overall performance till December 26 in 2022 after Pragati dashboard, developed by the state crime records bureau, was introduced last year to rank the police stations on their performances in aspects like solving of grievances of the people, the pendency of cases, detection and solving of cases, rate of conviction and filing of chargesheets. Aska got 94.54% on the Pragati dashboard.
