Government Committed to Police Modernization

 Government Committed to Police Modernization – Dy CM Ajit Pawar

Deputy CM Ajit Pawar said that with the expansion of Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad, the responsibility of maintaining law and order for the police has increased. Citizens should feel safe, and no untoward incidents should occur. For this, modern facilities are being provided to the city police force. The state government has decided to allocate 5% (₹1,100 crore) of the state’s annual plan budget for the police force.

In the last two years, ₹40 crore has been provided for Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad, and rural Pune police through the District Planning Committee. The newly inaugurated Chandannagar Police Station building is well-equipped with all facilities. Along with giving the police good infrastructure, citizens visiting the police station with complaints should also get justice, and the police should make special efforts for this. Citizens, too, should cooperate with the police in maintaining law and order.

To address traffic congestion near the District Collector’s Office, the Bund Garden Police Station should be relocated soon, he directed.
