On February 4, 2058, the then rebel Maoists attacked the district police office along with the Achham palace in Mangalsen, the headquarters of Achham. Acham Palace was rebuilt after about 23 years of its complete destruction.

 

Dozens of office buildings, including the district police, were rebuilt above the market. But the attacked district police office building was not repaired and police station Mangalsen was established. 

Police station Mangalsen, which was damaged during the conflict, is now in a dilapidated state. Due to frequent earthquakes, the main building, kitchen, toilet and residence of the police station have become more dilapidated. 

In order to protect the belongings and weapons inside the office, the police has been covering it with tripal during rain. It has been a long time since I sat in the kitchen and ate. The earthquake has completely destroyed it. Ever since the office was opened, the entire room where the police personnel live has been leaking," said Deputy Inspector Gagan Bahadur Bogti, in charge of the police station. It is the same now . At the same time, it is covered with zinc. Now there is a hole in the zinc and it is leaking.'

He said that he has been repeatedly asking the local level to build common structures like kitchens, waiting rooms, and fences. Earlier, the Chief District Officer, Chief of District Police, Head of the local level had monitored. 

is a post in the main market of Acham. The police office is far from the market. We are at the risk of the police providing protection to others," he said.

Although the building is weak, Mangalsen Chowki is the only police unit in Achham with a lot of land . There is 2792.42 square meters of land in the name of Mangalsen Police Station. The land in the name of the post has been leased by the district police for about 18 years. According to police sources, there is no written document or contract for the land lease to Mangalsen's businessmen.

'Local traders have been living for a long time . The police office has not entered into an agreement with the merchant. Because there is no agreement, the police have not been able to remove them using force. No one who comes as the head of the office seems to be able to make a decision," the source said. It is not even audited . They are also worried about whether they can take possession of the land that they have been enjoying for years.' 

According to the local businessmen, the police have started charging the land rent from 2063 Chait . 8 shops are operating in the land owned by the police. The District Police Office is collecting rent from 2,000 to 3,600 for 8 shops.

According to Achham Police Chief DSP Ishwari Prasad Bhandari, the district police is already collecting Mangalsen's land rent. Even now there is a continuation of the same . He says that by forming a committee, the money collected from the rent is deposited in the police welfare fund.

He said that the amount is being spent for the welfare of police personnel. The building of Mangalsen Police Station is very old. It is also unsafe. The accounting for the construction of the new building has been completed, he said.
