DGP Satish Mathur's instructions on general transfer remains on paper; misses deadline

By

Police establishment though quick to promulgate orders about framing time bound programme for deciding on transfers within the force, however the same police bosses of Maharashtra Police seem to have forgotten about the power vested with them. To date the meeting of Police Establishment Board No. 2 that has Director General of Police (DGP) Satish Mathur as its Chairman was not been held and hence question mark hangs on general transfers of officers including that of Sub-Inspector, Assistant Police Inspector and Police Inspector.

DGP Satish Mathur

It was DGP Mathur who issued a circular on January 20, 2017, about General Transfers (GT) for Police Establishment No. 2. Unit Commanders were directed to gather transfer requests in February and send to DGP by April 3, 2017. DGP office reserved entire April for inspection of request letters and was to conduct meetings of PEB 2 between April 1 to 7 and transfer orders were to be issued thereafter. 

However, DGP Mathur has failed to stick to schedule laid down by himself. So if top police boss himself is showing scant respect to his own order what can people expect from others in Police Department, said a retired police officer. Inspector General of Police (IGP) Establishment Rajkumar Vhatkar accepted that meeting of Police Establishment No. 2 was not held and when pressed for reason he stated, members were busy and hence could not meet. Vhatkar further said no date is fixed for holding the meeting. DGP Mathur failed to respond to repeated phone calls. 

A senior official commented that issuing order and not conducting meeting sends a bad message in police department which prides itself as disciplined force. Such type of time bound programme was introduced for first time in the force. However the top cop of Maharashtra Police failed to take initiative to ensure implementation of the programme in the larger interest of the force is surprising. 

Police Establishment Board came into being following rap by the Apex Court. The time bound transfers with schedule of April-May was fixed to ensure police officers get enough time to settle down in transferred place. The two months are most important also from point of view of academic interest of wards of police officers as during this time schools are processing new admission. The summer time is also when the academic session ends and provides enough space for families to decide on schools or colleges to take admission.
But with DGP office itself failing to stick to deadline the middle rank officers of Maharashtra Cadre would once again be waiting endlessly for transfers. So in nutshell the effect of Supreme Court order is being negated.

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...

Longest cable-stayed bridge to boost tourism at Ambhora

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...
