Amid round the clock bandobast duties for implementation of lockdown, Maharashtra police have extended the date of submission of forms for General Transfers (GT) by a week. The GT may get delayed this year as police staff assuming longer period of lockdown, claimed sources. 
However top officials are confident that despite the outbreak of coronavirus, the transfer would be carried out as per routine. Additional Director General of Police (ADG) Establishment Board Kulwant Sarangal told ‘The Hitavada’ that the date was extended as the police officials are busy with bandobast duties. “Approval from Unit Commander and Inspector General of Police (IGP Range) is needed to approve the submitted forms. However, these senior officials are busy in implementation of lockdown in the state,” he said and added that the transfer orders would definitely be issued before May 31st. 
ADG Wireless Retesh Kumaarr has sent a wireless message to all police units alerting them about extended date. The wireless message stated - Regarding submission of on-line applications for GT and request transfer- 2020 in the rank of officers - Assistant Police Inspectors (APIs) and Police Sub-Inspectors is underway. The time line to submit the on-lice application by the officers has been given till March 26th. On the ground of COVID-19 virus, since most of the officers are engaged in bandobast duties as well as very less numbers of ministerial staff is attending the office.

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
