Commissioner of Police K K Pathak defends the new scheme saying each officer has his own policies

By Dheeraj Fartode

‘Police Officer of the Month’, ‘Police Man of the Month’ and ‘Reward for Excellent Work’ were some the awards that were given in Nagpur Police Commissionerate to policemen for their outstanding performance. However after Commissioner of Police (CP) K K Pathak took over in December last the awards were withdrawn. Till Pathak, each of the Police Commissioner dutifully followed the regimen of continuing with tradition of honouring good work of police personnel from constable to Police Inspector level, also considered as field force.

Former Director General of Police (DGP) Arvind Inamdar and was the one who introduced the awards system during his stint as Commissioner of Police at Nagpur Police Commissionerate. Recouting it to ‘The Hitavada’, Inamdar said the scheme was started in Nagpur city in 1992. Informing about basic concept of the scheme, he said that sometimes policemen do their job of crime controlling by taking extra efforts. Common man does not know the nitty-gritty of crime control or solving the cases or the hard work that went into apprehending the offenders. Hence it was decided to felicitate such police officer by going out of Government’s way to promote excellence and encourage other policemen. Many cops nabbed dreaded goons without fearing for their life. Hence, as a senior police officer we applauded the common policemen for their work, Inamdar said.

Special Inspector General (Retd) and former Joint Commissioner of Police of city police, Babasaheb Kangale said that the scheme was good initiative by former police officers and continued for almost 20- years. Explaining about the scheme, he said that the officers were rewarded in the monthly parade at parade ground. “It was the overwhelming experience for that officer who received the reward.” Earlier, photograph of Officer of the Month was to put-up inside police station. The scheme encouraged and motivated many others to do good work, he said.

Current city police boss, K K Pathak has his own reason for closing the scheme. He said that every police officer have their own policies and we are also felicitating policemen with appreciation ‘words’. The ‘words’ of appreciation are akin to award, he claimed. Sometimes we also call the police person to Friday parade and felicitate him, he said.

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

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
