  • CCTV camera systems of all 16 police stations to be linked to GRP HQ in Nagpur 
  • System to start functioning in last week of August 

By Dheeraj Fartode 
To keep a vigil on functioning of 16 police stations under Nagpur Railway Police, the newly appointed Superintendent of Police (SP) Shailesh Balkawade has decided to set up a new command and control room at Government Railway Police (GRP) Nagpur Headquarters. 
As per the plan, four closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras will be installed at each of the police stations and platforms of railway stations, and those will connected to Nagpur SP Office. 
Balkawade told ‘The Hitavada’ that Nagpur GRP covered 23 revenue districts of Maharashtra and its jurisdiction spanned the length of 3,560 rail kilometers right from Gondia to Manmad. Of 17 zones of Indian Railways, Nagpur GRP covers four zones namely Central Railway, South-Central Railway, Western Railway, and South-East-Central Railway. 
Considering such a vast jurisdiction, SP GRP felt the need to set up the new digital monitoring system. “The new system will help us to closely monitor functioning of police stations under our jurisdiction, behaviour of police officers with complainants, and live position of passengers at platforms,” Balkawade said. 
CCTV cameras will cover desks of Station House Officer (SHO) and station diary, lock up, and platforms at railway stations. A large screen along with CCTV multiplexer will be installed at Nagpur SP Office to receive 24x7 video feeds from CCTV camera systems via internet protocol network. 
GRP officers expect to receive live view of platforms as well as live feed on interiors of police stations, to keep watch on patrolling teams of GRP and monitoring being done by them. Recorded videos also will help the police in identification of criminals, in case of crime incidents at platforms. “Total expenditure of the system is around Rs 1 lakh and it will become functional in the last week of this month,” Balkawade said. 
After taking reins as Superintendent of Police at GRP Headquarters, Nagpur, Shailesh Balkawade has ordered the police personnel to intensify night patrolling in running trains. He has asked police personnel to take preventive actions in respective jurisdictions to prevent crime. He also asked the police personnel to improve detection rate.

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...
