Dhantoli: 1813 booked for violating traffic rules

By
Within 15-days of declaring ‘no parking zone’ in Dhantoli, Traffic Police have booked as many as 1,813 vehicle-riders/drivers for violating traffic rules under Motor Vehicles Act. Of these, 1,029 have been booked for parking vehicle in ‘no parking zone’, 685 for violation of one-way traffic rule, and 99 for other violations. 

Senior Police Inspector (Traffic) Jayesh Bhandarkar informed that a team of Traffic Police was deployed in Dhantoli to book violators of traffic rules. Local residents are happy with the police action as they have got relief from unauthorised parking, traffic jam, and noise pollution that had become regular features in Dhantoli. Cases of violation of traffic rules are decreasing gradually in Dhantoli area as citizens are becoming aware about the new rules, he said. 
City Police had issued a notification last month and created 18 ‘no parking zones’ and specified three lanes for one-way movement of traffic in Dhantoli to regulate the chaotic traffic. Now, the cops are planning to effect change in movement of traffic in Ramdaspeth, Sitabuldi, Gandhibag, and Mahal areas of the city. 

Along with tough measures, Traffic Police are also counseling people, guiding them on directions to take for reaching their destination to avoid inconvenience to them. Dhantoli is a medical hub and a large number of people coming there are outsiders, and hence the cops are counseling and guiding the people. Another police officer said that other lanes in Dhantoli would also be converted into one-ways after observing success of the drive and response of the residents. 
A police team will take stock of availability of parking space in all hospitals in Dhantoli and Ramdaspeth areas and initiate necessary action. “We will not allow parking of business houses on roads and footpaths. If anyone uses the parking place for other purposes then joint team of police and NMC will take action,” the officer warned.

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...
