DGP’s missive to all transferred cops to join new post in 48hrs or lose salary

By
                                                        DGP Sanjeev Dayal

By Dheeraj Fartode 

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.

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 also ha

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
