Sitting amid the blackened remains of his home, 32-year-old Nikesh Gawali carefully broke open a half-melted plastic box with a screwdriver. His hands shook slightly, not out of fear, but out of hope. “I’m trying to find my daughter Aarti’s gold earrings,” he said quietly, still focused on the box. “She’s just five. I got them made recently after months of labour work.” The plastic box, warped and blackened by heat, was one of the few things left from his two-room house on the outskirts of Dhamangaon village . All around him lay ash, broken tin sheets and charred wooden beams. The walls had cracked under the heat and the front room’s tin roof had caved in completely. What remained was a blackened debris all around - almost nothing to suggest a home once stood there. Nikesh earns his living as an agricultural labourer, like many in the village. Work is uncertain and depends on the season. Those earrings weren’t just jewellery - they were a small dream, a reward for his hard work,...

Director General of Police (DGP) Sanjeev Dayal has directed all the unit commanders of state to relieve all the transferred police personnel within next 48 hours. Many officers who were transferred from their posting during general transfers 2013, had somehow evaded to join the new posting and were trying to stay at the present location. “Monthly salary of these officers will be held up, if they do not report at their new postings,” said the DGP.However, Commissioner of Police K K Pathak said that he would talk with DGP Dayal on the issue as it would not be possible for Nagpur Commissionerate to relive our officers without getting their replacement.
As per the data procured from Nagpur Commissionerate, 12 Police Inspectors, nine Assistant Police Inspectors, eight Police Sub-Inspectors were transferred from Nagpur Police Commissionerate in recent general transfers. So far, nine Inspectors have been relieved but three are still working including Senior PI of Crime Branch Madhav Giri, Second PI of Yashodhara Nagar police station T K Killewale and PI of Gittikhadan R S Bhogawade. Four APIs and two PSIs have also not been relieved by Nagpur Police.
On the other hand, an Assistant Commissioner Police (ACP) rank officer from Navi Mumbai, 14 PIs 10 APIs and three PSI were transferred to Nagpur from across the state. Out of them, the ACP is yet to report here. Similarly six PIs, seven APIs and five PSIs have failed to join Nagpur Police, despite categorical instruction issued by DGP warning all transferred officers to first join their new posting and not to pressurise him to cancel the transfer done as per transfer rules.
Sources said that DGP office had cancelled transfer of PI of Kalachoukie Unit, Mumbai of Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) after a request to this effect was made by a top level officer of ATS, Maharashtra.
Sources said that senior offices from western Maharashtra and Mumbai region are not interested to serve in Vidarbha. As a result, every time after the transfers, the city police grapples with mid-level vacancies which often affects ground level policing.
