Unnecessary action against truckers creating shortage of essential goods: ADG Highway

By
THE Union Home Ministry has laid down clear rules to be implemented by Enforcement Agencies to allow smooth transportation of essential goods during lockdwon period. Notwithstanding the orders, the agencies have launched crackdown against those who are exempted from the list of prohibited items.
Observing this gross violation of rules of Union Home Ministry, Additional Director General of Police (ADG) Highway Police Vinay Korgaonkar has come down heavily on Police Unit Commanders and said that essential goods movement was disturbed due to the action causing shortage of essential items in the country. The ADG has issued a nine-point advisory to Police Units in Maharashtra and ordered them to follow the order in letter and spirit.
ADG Korgankar, in the notification, said that trucks transporting essential goods were not being allowed for no reason. “Passes are not being issued to the labourers working at companies involved in manufacturing of essential goods,” he observed. “If one State issues transportation passes for labourers and goods, another State is not paying importance to the passes and prohibiting them from entering the State,” he said and added that work at cold storage and godowns was also stalled.
“The Union Home Ministry has given permission for transportation of above items. However, unnecessary action on parts of enforcement agencies is creating shortage of essential goods,” he clarified.
Issuing advisory for smooth flow of traffic, ADG Korgaonkar said that no permission was required for trucks transporting essential or non-essential goods within state or country. “Only two persons should be allowed in the vehicle including one with license holder driver. Similarly, movement of empty trucks for loading of goods from one place to another also be allowed,” he ordered. 
Local administration should allow movement of truck driver and cleaners from their house to the truck and labourers from their house to factories. Railways, Airport Authorities, State Excise Department are empowered for issuing passes to their staff. 
Floor mills and vegetable oil manufacturing units and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises manufacturing these items should be allowed to operate without hindrance. Functioning of cold storage and godowns also allowed and vehicles transporting goods to these places should not be stopped, he said. 
The order should be implemented across the state barring containment zones designated by authorities. The ADG also asked the police personnel to not allow illegal transportation under the garb of essential goods.

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 also ha

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
