DCP spits and assaults accused in custody

By
By Dheeraj Fartode Shocking allegations of misconduct have emerged against a police officer in Nagpur City Police. The officer is accused of abusive and degrading behaviour, particularly targeting accused in Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Sources claim that the senior officer arrives at the police station and calls the accused into a separate room, where the officer not only hurls abuse at the accused but also spits at their face. Later, the officer allegedly kicks the accused in the private parts. In some incidents, when a couple approached a police station in Nagpur to file a complaint following a domestic dispute, the police sent a proposal for preventive action to the officer. However, instead of handling the matter professionally, the officer allegedly made the man sit down, then kicked him in the private parts and leave him in pain and humiliation. The behaviour of the high ranked official have raised questions about the professionalism of law enforcemen...

Green cover : Social Forestry Dept plants 1.11 lakh saplings this year as against zero plantation last year

By



The Social Forestry wing of the Forest Department has planted a whopping 1.11 lakh samplings of different varieties across the district and aimed to plant 1.30 lakh saplings in the remaining months of monsoon. The plantation not only helps the environment but also protects bunds and fields from overflowing rainwater, said Divisional officer Neeta Nannaware of the Social Forestry Department.
Nannaware informed ‘The Hitavada’ that the saplings were planted at 58 sites in Nagpur district. Highest 21,485 samplings were planted at six sites of Katol tehsil, followed by 19,000 samplings at 14 sites of Kamptee tehsil, 18,221 samplings at six sites of Kuhi tehsil, 12,320 samplings at four sites of Umred tehsil, 9,333 samplings at four sites of Parseoni tehsil, 9,000 samplings at eight sites of Hingna tehsil,  5,500 samplings at seven sites of Ramtek tehsil, 4,944 saplings at two sites of Nagpur tehsil, 4,000 saplings each at Bhivapur and Narkhed tehsils and 3,333 saplings at a site of Kalmeshwar tehsil, she said.
In Umred tehsil, the Department has set the highest target of 22,109 saplings plantation but, just 12,320 samplings have been planted so far. Similarly, a target of 15,500 saplings plantation was decided for Ramtek tehsil as against plantation of 5,500 samplings in reality so far.
Various plants with different stages of growth have been raised at 19 nursery centres in the Nagpur district. They have been provided with the necessary compost for plantation, informed Nannaware and added that the department also takes up plantation drive along key roads through labourers and school students. The department identifies the locations for plantation and deploy a guard after plantation for safety of the plants. The department is deploying one guard for the area of two km who takes care of plants from cattle and other animals, she said.  Concerned Gram Panchayat, Municipal Council and Zilla Parishad have to take care of the plants after three years of growth.  

Covid impact : Not a single sampling planted last year 

School students play the most important role in the tree plantation drives. As the schools are closed due to the outbreak of Covid, the department is facing problems in tree plantation. Last year, not a single sampling was planted by the department due to coronavirus.

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...
