HOME Minister Anil Deshmukh’s ‘call’ to Nagpur Police for sharing details of police personnel who are deployed in the field for implementation of lockdown is going ‘unanswered’. The local police officers have not yet compiled information of the bandobast duty staff with Nagpur Police Commissionerate which prompted DCP Headquarters Vikram Sali to flash a reminder to the lethargic officers for immediate compilation of data.
Sources informed that office of Home Minister Deshmukh wrote a letter to Nagpur Police Commissionerate to share the information of police personnel who are on the bandobast duty, including their name, buckle no, wife’s name and mobile number.
The office of DCP HQ Napgur Police had then sent letters to in-charges of all police stations and other branches directing them to immediately furnish the information of 10 constabulary staff who are deployed for bandobast duties of lockdown. However, many Police Inspectors had not taken the instructions seriously which prompted DCP HQ Sali to issue another order on Tuesday.
The order stated that the police personnel are performing duties to contain the spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in the city. “Home Minister Anil Deshmukh will contact families of these police personnel on telephone,” the order said.

Sources informed that being Home Minister Anil Deshmukh is waiting for list for a long time as he wanted to give nmoral support to the police families from his home town. “It would send a positive message among the police personnel. However, lethargic approach on part of a section of police officers is delaying the good cause,” he said. In Mumbai, Deshmukh had distributed Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), masks and sanitisers to Mumbai police personnel on Saturday.
