DCP spits and assaults accused in custody

By
By Dheeraj Fartode Shocking allegations of misconduct have emerged against a police officer in Nagpur City Police. The officer is accused of abusive and degrading behaviour, particularly targeting accused in Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Sources claim that the senior officer arrives at the police station and calls the accused into a separate room, where the officer not only hurls abuse at the accused but also spits at their face. Later, the officer allegedly kicks the accused in the private parts. In some incidents, when a couple approached a police station in Nagpur to file a complaint following a domestic dispute, the police sent a proposal for preventive action to the officer. However, instead of handling the matter professionally, the officer allegedly made the man sit down, then kicked him in the private parts and leave him in pain and humiliation. The behaviour of the high ranked official have raised questions about the professionalism of law enforcemen...

Narrow gauge platform: SECR blank on utililisation of Rs one crore given to CR

By
General Manager of South Eastern Central Railway (SECR) Navin Tandon 

By Dheeraj Fartode
Authorities of Nagpur Division of South Eastern Central Railway (SECR) are blank about utilisation of Rs one crore given by SECR to Central Railway two years ago for development of narrow gauge platform at Nagpur Railway Station.
Newly appointed General Manager of SECR Navin Tandon also kept mum over the issue and asked Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) S L Verma to clarify on the same. However, Verma had no concrete information about utilisation of money. He told the reporters that he would inform the media later.

Tandon was on his maiden tour of Nagpur Division of SECR after being appointed as General Manager. SECR had given Rs one crore to Central Railway two years ago to develop basic amenities and maintenance of the platform at Nagpur Railway Station. However, Central Railway has not started any work till date and situation at the platform is the same.

Addressing a press conference at SECR’s DRM office on Saturday, Tandon said that installation of ‘green toilets’ in trains had been started. Indian Railway and Defense Research Organisation (DRDO) jointly started the process to develop ‘green toilets’ for railways in a bid to keep trains, platforms, and tracks clean.

A train coach with ‘green toilets’ will have a chamber for collection of all the waste. The collected waste would be converted into compost with the help of bacteria, Tandon said. There was no possibility of ‘green toilets’ to be fitted into trains at Motibag workshop, he said in reply to a question.

Asked about increase in number of thefts in running trains, Tandon said that Indian Railway was trying to fill up vacancies of Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Government Railway Police (GRP). “We are monitoring crime in railways to find out a solution,” he added.

Maintenance of narrow gauge coaches was being done properly in Motibag workshop of SECR, Tandon said replying to another question. Broad gauge work of Chhindawada-Nagpur railway line was in the last phase and the line would open for traffic soon.

During his visit to the city, Tandon also paid a visit to SECR’s museum at Motibag. DRM S L Verma, Additional DRM S K Gupta and other officers were present at the press conference.
Navin Tandon is 1976 batch officer of Railway Electrical Engineering Services (REES). He was Additional General Manager of Eastern Railway. He had also worked at Central Organisation for Railway Electrification (CORE), Allahabad; and as Chief Electrical Engineer at South Western Railway, Hubli.

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 als...

Longest cable-stayed bridge to boost tourism at Ambhora

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...
