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.

Nagpur police to set-up water bottling plant

  • All police stations, offices of senior officers and other branches to receive water from centralised plant that would have state of art technology to weed out impurities


By Dheeraj Fartode
Now, police to sell water in city! Sounds baffling, but the idea has taken shape and an Rs. 35 lakh bottling plant is in offing at office of Commissioner of Police. A water purification plant having capacity of 1.20 lakh litres per day is planned that will cater to requirement of commissionerate.
The plan is to supply water to all police station, offices of senior officers and other units of city police through the central bottling plant. The Commisionerate has sent the proposal for approval to office of Director General of Police, Maharashtra.
The idea is said to be brainchild of Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP Detection) Ranjan Kumar Sharma. DCP Sharma told The Hitavada, all police establishment including Police Stations, Offices of ACPs, DCPs, Addl CPs and all branches would receive purified water directly from Nagpur Police Commissionerate office. The CP office would charge merely Rs 5 for each 35 litres can whereas market price for the same is Rs 30 to Rs 35. Thus this scheme entails savings for the police establishment, plus ensuring that quality water is served to police personnel.
Nagpur City police is spending Rs five lakh every year to get purified water. If the new idea is implemented ,then City police would earn lakhs of rupees with a one time investment, DCP Sharma explained while sharing the idea. 
Earlier, Sharma during his stint as Commandant of State Reserve Police Force (SRPF Group IV), based at Hingna, had piloted a similar scheme. He had implemented the idea in the SRPF after around 30 % policemen had gone on sick leave due to water borne diseases. 
Officials informed that Commissioner of Police Sharda Prasad Yadav have approved the proposal and sent the file with his remarks to the DG Office as funds would be drown from Police Welfare Fund.

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
