Process for recruitment of 18,500 constables to begin by November 9 : DG Sanjay Kumar

By
DG Sanjay Kumar

Recruitment of constabulary in Maharashtra police to fill 18,500 vacant posts would begin by November 9 as all the obstacles in its way stands removed, informed Sanjay Kumar, Director General (DG), Training and Special forces, Maharashtra.
DG Sanjay Kumar said, his office has called for information from all police units in the State about latest position of vacant posts of constables. The vacancy position is for a period of two-years, 2020 and 2021 respectively. After compilation of the information, a proper advertisement notifying the vacancies, the reservation of seats, identifying the sportspersons quota, and other constitutional reservations, will be notified and published in the newspapers, he said.
Incidentally, just a few days back State Government had issued instruction to halt the ongoing process to publish advertisements for recruitment of constables in Maharashtra police for filling-up vacant posts. The orders issued on Saturday directed Maharashtra Police Establishment to put on hold the recruitment process on administrative grounds. The police recruitment advertisement was scheduled to be published on November 1.
Some inaccuracies had crept in and same was noticed at last moment and hence police establishment decided to pause and correct the format so avoid any litigations later, said the sources.
Stating that the highest 6,500 constables would be recruited for Mumbai Police Commissionerate, Kumar claimed that the Nagpur city police would get around 400 constables. Kumar further said that once the recruitment process gets completed, the new recruits would undergo training for a period of nine months in the training institutes of Maharashtra police. The written examination for Mumbai city will be conducted first while for rest of Maharashtra the test will be held a day later, he further informed.
The vacancies in constabulary has affected performance of the police force as they are the first to respond to any crime or law and order situation on the ground. Once all the vacant posts are filled-up the police units bosses can firm-up their strategies to deal with crime situation and ensure peace and tranquillity prevails in society.
Similarly, a full staffed force is quite capable of maintain an upper hand on criminals and rein in their anti-social activities through effective policing.

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

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.

However, now with the construction of the new bridge tourists will get a chance see the scenic backwaters across the river bed which is
