  • CM reviews law and order situation of Nagpur division 



By Dheeraj Fartode
Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis on Monday took stock of law and order situation of city, Nagpur Range and Gadchiroli Range. The CM was also briefed by top police officials about position of infrastructure and pending proposals in the region. 

Commissioner of Police (CP) K K Pathak, Range IG Ravindra Kadam, Joint CP Anup Kumar Singh, Superintendent of Police (SP), Nagpur Rural Dr Aarti Singh, SP Wardha Anil Paraskar, SP Chandrapur Rajiv Jain, SP Gondia Shashi Kumar Meena and SP Gadchiroli Sandip Patil were present in the meeting. 

Gadchiroli SP Patil made a detailed presentation about current security scenario in the Naxal-infested Gadchiroli. With detailed report about position of Naxals, the SP also informed about policy paralysis in the district. Later, CM Fadanvis while sharing basic information about problems faced by police force, also expressed his deep concern about non-implementation of key policies in the district. “Earlier government had enacted many policies for Gadchiroli however, implementation process was inordinately delayed,” he said. The CM also asked about various needs for families of police martyrs and informers. He also suggested them to start pre-police training school for tribal youths and marked improvement in police recruitment process. 

CM Fadanvis also reviewed law and order situation of Nagpur city and Nagpur district and pending proposals. It may be mentioned that three police stations which received government’s nod in the city are yet to established due to unavailability of the land in the city. The senior police officers demanded better co-ordination with town planning department. “Town planning department must earmark sufficient land for police stations and police establishment before sanctioning new development map of the city,” the officers requested CM.

The police officers also raised their concern about acute shortage of police quarters. It can be mentioned that in Nagpur district there is crunch of proper police quarters. Government sanctions merely Rs 1,500 as house rent allowance per month. 

However, due to unavailability of quarters, the policemen are forced to live in the rented house and pay upto Rs 4,000 for the house.  The CM had assured the top brass to look into the matter personally and to tackle the issue.

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
