By Dheeraj Fartode

Reach of passengers does matter in the Indian Railway. Sample this, on Thursday, entire top brass of Nagpur Division of Central Railway landed at railway station to attend to a complaint of a woman traveller. The passengers, S David, a practicing lady lawyer at Supreme Court, got irked on noticing cockroaches in the AC-II bogie. She also complained to Ticket Conductor about absence of curtains and wanted complaint register which she did not get.
An infuriated David contacted a top official at the Railway Board and that worked wonder. Within moments entire railway machinery was put on high alert as DRM Brijesh Dixit himself marshalled the resources to rectify the complaint and pacify the big shot complainant.
Along with DRM, even Additional Divisional Railway Manager (ADRM) and other senior officials dashed to railway station. The woman was traveling in B-1 coach of 12622 New-Delhi-Chennai Tamil Nadu Express.
The train was first stopped at Amla station where short cleaning process was done at the station. When the train arrived at Nagpur station at around 2.15 pm, senior railway officials personally oversaw cleaning process. The top brass was in full attendance at platform no. 2 at railway station. Large number of staff from Railway Protection Force (RFP) and Government Railway Police (GRP) was also deployed at the platform. Hundreds of passengers standing on Foot Over Bridge (FoB) watched the drama unfolding before them intensely, as they though some Minister is coming.
As soon as the train was admitted on the platform an army of sanitation workers thoroughly cleaned the particular B-1 coach and brand new curtains were promptly attached in the coach. The train was detained at Nagpur station for 25 minutes.  A senior official even accompanied the train till the next station to ensure nothing goes wrong during the journey, the sources said. Division PRO P D Patil said it was a routine matter and not any major problem.

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

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.
