Maharashtra Government granted approval for construction of a new office of Commssionerate during a meeting held in Mumbai. As per plan, there will be a string of offices spread over 1.19 lakh sq.ft. and they will come-up behind the existing building housing the office of Commissioner of Police.

of Nagpur Police Commissionerate. 

As per the details, Office of Commissioner of Police (CP), Joint CP, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP Headquarters), DCP (Special Branch), Economic Offence Wing (EoW), DCP (Crime Branch) and entire wing of crime branch will be located in the new building. Even Control Room of Nagpur City Police, the nerve centre of police force, will also function from the independent complex that will be clubbed with office of Special Branch.
Right now, the existing premises of commssionerate is woefully short and officers have been relocated all over the city due to paucity of space.

By

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.
