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.

Additional Chief Secretary (ACS Home) K P Bakshi, Finance Secretary, Secretary of Urban Development Department, besides Commissioner of Police and ADG (P&C) Rajinder Singh were present in the meeting.

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.

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.

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.
