Intimation to Hon CM , Hon HM , DG of Mah ,CP of Mumbai . Sub:- A FEW WR UNSUNG HEROES ... Of what I have learnt & experienced in my 7 years of activism ,West Region postings specially in Zone- IX Bandra ,Khar area is said to be lucrative , appeasing & one has to have a God Father as a politician to be posted here.I always call this place as a PG 3 posting .. I have seen most of them getting attracted to glamour & so and so .... The same area whether it's the post of Adtnl CP , DCP or Sr PI's is supposed to be a hot seat. It's famous for political high handedness , vigil & vociferous citizens who do not lay low when it comes to demanding justice .Over the years we have faced many ups & downs and in some police stations we are still facing it too.The juggle continues ..My personal experiences with police are very bad & many a times I have taken on against their high handedness , behaviour ,non-compliance's and have staged silent protest too waiting outside police stations all night etc ... Of course over the past we had some very good officers in Zn-IX like Mrs Archana Tyagi , Mr Niket Kaushik , Mr K.M.M Prasanna , Mr Dorje , Mr Ajit Sawant for whom till date we have very high regards but Of late , at one time I came across three people in hierarchy who I think most of us would like to acknowledge . As a teacher ,few years back in a language lesson I had read about a poor sculptor named Jaikishan who sat in a not well lit corner in the king's palace busy with his intricate designs was questioned by a visitor as "Why are you sitting in such a dark corner making such beautiful carving which no one see. .. The sculptor looked up and replied ..." I am comfortable out here . I don't know who you are talking about BUT for those whom I am working know about it & my God knows it too " . Similar is what I see in Adtnl CP (WR) Mr Milind Bharambe who on 24/02/15 received Rashtrapati award for his meritorious services in the police force. He has always been a blessing in disguise for WR. Congratulations !!!! We wish him success as an IG too. Then on 13/03/15 , I learnt Sr PI of Khar Mr Dattaray Bharghude succeeded in one of his cases where an accused had raped a married woman & judge directed 10 years of imprisonment . This Enquiry was initiated when he was a Crime PI in Bhandup. Well ,it's very difficult to continue with such a rigorous followup with court & your day to day hectic schedule ...Hat's Off. & now though for a short term for around 3 months we have as I/C DCP Zn-IX Mr Vinayak Deshmukh from LA who has done his best in his onfield work, resolving issues ,paying personal attention on various crime related issues as and on when grieved citizens have approached him right from Bandra to Amboli ... From last few Sunday's we have seen him on field every morning for 2-3 hours on the road while Equal Streets Event is on. He is seen in conversation with public who are for or against the event. He is here till 19/03/15 . We thank him for his short benefited services . The above three are feathers in the cap of Maharashtra /Mumbai Police force & for me when I realised ,I thought 'Chirag Taley Andhera .' The simplicity of the above three and also Jt CP (Traffic )Mr B.K.Upadhyay's dedication,straight fowardness compels me to express my thoughts & hope successors or juniors down the line too believe in this type of a 'Touch of Class Service' to the community . It's not that I have / had no indifferences with the above but they have/had always given repeated patient hearing to all our public interest issues & did their best in giving us justice too.. We need more of such officers who mean work , dedicated & committed to their service , patient with citizens who have lost their faith in Mumbai Police ... with the mushrooming crime, grug menace, night-life crime we as zone-IX citizen's are always in fright or gripes with the thought of who caomes in our area ..Our battle for justice will always continue ... Hon CM , Hon HM , Home Dept , DG, CP unanimously should decide on merit based promotions & not hand picked appeasers . The nation / city needs such good officers else no one can curb crime if criminals are within the force . Such a trisome in heiracynot only makes good team work but also it is a blessing to the community. Citizens feel safe too. So till now , I consider ,we are blessed & safe too. Hope it sustains without any pressure & same follows in other areas too. On behalf of most like minded who believe the above. I sign off ....
