‘Operation Shodh’ : 274 persons including 15 girls are missing from Nagpur

By


Whopping 1,558 persons went missing from Nagpur city in the first five months of this year, of which, 1,284 persons returned to their home on their own or traced by the police. However, 274 persons including 16 children are still missing from the city and no one knows about their whereabouts.

The shocking information came to fore during ‘Operation : Shodh’ implemented by the City police to trace the missing persons. A total of 736 women, 668 men and 154 children went missing from Nagpur city till May this year. As per the police records, 1,284 are returned to their home. However, 127 women, 131 men and 16 children are still missing.

Commissioner of Police (CP) Amitsh Kumar said that the police station officers were tasked to reach each and every house of the missing person last month. A total of 1,284 persons returned home after they went missing for a brief period. However, 17.58 per cent missing persons are yet to be traced by the family members or the police, the CP said. Of these missing persons, 16 are the teenagers including 15 girls, the CP said. “We are making all efforts to trace these but their whereabouts are yet to be identified,” the police commissioner said. The 15 missing teenage girls are residents of Nandanvan, Hudkeshwar, Yashodhara, Pardi and Kalamna area of Nagpur.

Experts on the issue stated that financial problems, family issues or domestic violence, property disputes, mental illness, miscommunication, and being a victim of crime are some of the reasons for people going missing. “Some people do not get enough emotional support for their problems at home. Therefore, they chose to simply walk away from their loved ones. After realising the harsh reality of the world, a major chunk of these missing persons return home,” the expert said.

On the issue of missing cases of minor girls,  a police official said that most of the girls went missing with their boyfriends. Parents of most of these missing girls are daily wage workers, he said and added that proper communication with parents could resolve the issue.

CP Kumar said that all the beat marshals and police station officers were alerted to trace the missing persons.

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
