The State Home Department in Maharashtra is gearing up for a significant overhaul of its top police leadership, including the position of Director General of Police (DGP) and Police Commissioners of Nagpur and Thane. The impending retirement of the current DGP, Rajnish Seth, on December 31 has prompted the department to commence the process of selecting his successor.A top rank official said that several prominent names have emerged as contenders for the esteemed position of State DGP. The frontrunner is Senior IPS Officer Rashmi Shukla, who currently serves as the Director General (DG) of Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB). Mumbai Police Commissioner Vivek Phansalkar is also a strong candidate for the role. Other notable contenders include Thane CP Jaijeet Singh, DG ATS Sadanand Date, DG Police Housing Sandeep Bishnoi, DG Railway Pradnya Sarvade, Additional Director of NIA Atulchandra Kulkarni, and DG State Security Corporation Bipin Kumar Singh, he said.

Rahul Gandhi's terror remark: Togadia supports

Dr Pravin Togadia


International Working President of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) Dr Pravin Togadia on Friday supported Congress Vice-president Rahul Gandhi’s controversial remarks on Pakistan’s ISI fomenting terror modules using Indian Muslims.
Togadia congratulated Congress Vice-President and claimed that political parties should come out of denial mode and accept the bitter reality that a section of radical

Muslim youths in contact with anti-national forces. I don’t think he spoke without concrete evidence, the VHP leader stated. Student Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) activists were nabbed by police from Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh and many sleeper cells were busted by security agencies all over the country, he pointed out.

Togadia was talking with ‘The Hitavada’ exclusively during his two days Nagpur tour on Friday. Dr Togadia, who is known as mascot of Hindutva politics, further slammed political leaders for launching attack against Rahul instead of anti-national forces.

Dr Togadia praised Shiv Sena President Uddhav Thackeray for reminding Bharatiay Janata Party (BJP) about uniform civil code, scrapping of Article 370 and protection of Hindu interest. “Hindu will support Thackeray on the issue as he is following late Sena Supremo Balasaheb Thackeray.” He further asked BJP and other parties to follow the path of Hindutva.

When asked about his stand over Kashmir students, who  had stopped Bollywood film crew ‘Haider’ to hoist Indian flag, the firebrand leader said that government should take stern action against the students and expel them from college. He once again blamed Islamic extremism and stated that even China and Russia are also facing same problems in their muslim-dominated provinces. Separatist leaders are trying to malign image of Indian army, he alleged.

Describing Muzaffarnagar incident as fall-out of “Love Jehad”, Dr Togadia warned that such spontaneous reaction will continue if the rabid elements pursue Love-Jehad against Hindu girls. He appreciated Hindus of Muzaffarnagar for their unity. Togadia will meet Sarsanghachalak of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Dr Mohan Bhagawat on Saturday morning. VHP leaders including Dr Hemant Jambhekar, Vijayjeet Waliya, Ajay Nildawar and Surendra Lodha were present at the occasion.

IGP Prasanna : The man who stopped Obama’s convoy

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

Longest cable-stayed bridge to boost tourism at Ambhora

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
