 Five New Police Stations to be Approved for Pune – CM Devendra Fadnavis

Inauguration of Various Projects of Pune City Police Commissionerate

Pune, Aug 8: Considering the challenges before the police and the new issues of law and order, a new structure for the police force has been created after 60 years. The police station network has been reorganized, and new Narcotics and Forensic units have been set up. The government will continue to fully support the modernization of the police force. For Pune city, there is a demand for police stations at Lohegaon, Laxminagar, Narhe, Manjari, and Yeolewadi, and approval will be given for the same. Approval will also be granted for the required manpower of 1,000 personnel, assured Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

The CM was speaking at the groundbreaking and inauguration ceremony of various projects to be set up in Pune city, organized by the Pune City Police Commissionerate at the Police Headquarters, Shivajinagar. Present on the occasion were Deputy CM and District Guardian Minister Ajit Pawar, Higher and Technical Education Minister Chandrakant Patil, Deputy Speaker of the Legislative Assembly Anna Bansode, Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Iqbal Singh Chahal, Director General of Police Rashmi Shukla, Managing Director of Maharashtra State Police Housing & Welfare Corporation Archana Tyagi, Pune City Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar, Joint Commissioner of Police Ranjan Kumar Sharma, and others.

Saying that approval will soon be given to appoint two Deputy Commissioners of Police for Pune, CM Fadnavis stated that as cities expand, the police force also needs improvement. One new police station was inaugurated, and the foundation stone was laid for four others. This is the first time in the state that seven police stations have been sanctioned for a city at once. Given Pune’s growth and its industrial and educational importance, strengthening the city’s security arrangements is a priority.

The first phase of Pune city’s CCTV project was inaugurated 10 years ago. The system needed to be connected to a control room equipped with modern technology. Today, the country’s most modern CCTV system has been launched for the city, with such a control room. This will help control traffic effectively and analyze crimes and situations using artificial intelligence. The system will aid in the quick identification of criminals, making it difficult for them to evade police surveillance.
