Running the force vs buildings and gear
Same year’s plan.

District police
Printed as a statewide line — not a per-station share, and not Bengaluru civic.
Salaries not split by station
Named police stations are not printed as allotments. We do not divide district police by the number of stations.
Trace
Book stops here
Each stop is a printed grain, or a dashed EMPTY where the book does not print the next line. We do not invent a station share.
