Traffic Control Branch has 540 personnel catering to population of 26 lakh in second capital of the State


By Dheeraj Fartode 
The Beat Constables are the best public relation manager. Their overall conduct makes or mars the image of the department. Taking cue from the feedback received from the general people, Traffic Control Branch has geared-up for an image makeover.
The nature of complaints are general in nature, and most related to behaviour. We are aware that cops on duty may not be at fault but they do need counselling as this will alter their lookout and help them to handle stress in a better way, said Jeevraj Dabhade, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Traffic Control Branch, Nagpur city police.

We felt that cops need to reorient themselves and their thinking. Hence, we have taken an initiative and started workshops to equip our personnel with better understanding of human nature. The aim is to dispel the common nature of complaints about arrogance of cops, our personnel are rude and they care damn about worries of people. Elaborating more on the training programme, DCP Dabhade said the Traffic Control Branch has 540 personnel catering to population of 26 lakh in second capital of the State. The Traffic Control Branch personnel are working under tremendous pressure as their numbers have not increased in relation to population growth and exponential growth in number of vehicles plying on the road.

The Department is holding continuous workshops every week for the staff. About 30 police personnel are being drafted for the workshop. The programme started for past one month and four workshops were already held, said the DCP. Personality Development, awareness about traffic signs, updating their knowledge on changes in laws. The senior officers are the faculty and they are providing them valuable guidance. The workshop lasts for eight hours long workshop ad DCP Dabhade is hopeful that post completion of training, the people in Orange city will come across Traffic Control Branch personnel as much better human beings.

Asked about the problems of personnel, DCP Dabhade admitted that the heavy work load is one of the prime factors for irritation, and general lack of alacrity among the Traffic Control Branch personnel. But in this days of multi tasking one has to take initiative and results will be for them to see. In  the workshop we are instilling the confidence among our personnel that they have to act with sense of social responsibility.
Admitting that the change would not be overnight but somewhere the start was necessary and DCP Dabhade said such counselling and training would equip the personnel on streets to manage themselves and conduct themselves in dignity.

IGP Prasanna : The man who stopped Obama’s convoy

By
IGP Mallikarjuna Prasanna By Dheeraj Fartode  Published on Feb/17/2019 NOT many are aware of an episode during the then US President Barack Obama’s visit to India in 2010. The world’s most powerful man was made to wait for 11 minutes in his car while an Indian cop took on American officials for their unwarranted interference in the US President’s security. KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator. The story of the IPS officer of 2000 batch is worth a film. In fact, a movie (Nagarjun-starrer ‘Officer’) has already been made by Ram Gopal Verma last year. His real life script als...

Longest cable-stayed bridge to boost tourism at Ambhora

By
CONSTRUCTION work of 700-metre-long cable-stayed bridge, longest in the country, with a viewing gallery at the top at Ambhora in Kuhi tehsil is near completion. The bridge would be open for traffic in December this year providing a major boost to tourism at Shree Chaitanyeshwar Mahadev temple at Ambhora. It is set to open doors of development for the backward area of Kuhi and Umred tehsil. Ambhora, located 75 km from Nagpur city, is a famous religious and tourist place in Vidarbha. It is situated at the confluence of five rivers -- Wainganga, Kanhan, Aam, Kolari and Murza. Just around a decade ago the river bank housing Ambhora used to see a flux of tourists from all over the State. However, the banks were submerged in water after the construction of Gosikhurd dam which led to rise in water levels. Since then, tourist flow at Ambhora has also declined. However, now with the construction of the new bridge tourists will get a chance see the scenic backwaters across the river bed which is...
