Nagpur: With festivals like Pola and Ganeshotsav approaching, city police have drawn up a comprehensive plan to ensure safety and prevent miscreants from disrupting the festive spirit.

The move aims to make roads safer, reduce traffic violations, and streamline traffic flow. The directives were issued at a high-level meeting with city and traffic police officials. Singal stressed that officers must focus on crowd management and crime prevention during festivities. He instructed strict enforcement, including vehicle seizures, to curb reckless road behaviour. To avert law-and-order issues, Singal urged officers to hold coordination meetings with Ganesh mandals, ensuring no provocative idols or decorations trigger controversy.

Eight booked for protesting at Pune police commissioner's office
Demanding action under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, some protesters approached Joint Commissioner of Police Ranjan Kumar Sharma on August 3. Earlier this month, three women had alleged that Kothrud police personnel harassed them and made casteist comments while probing a missing woman's case. The woman, from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, had briefly stayed with them in Pune. Pune, Aug 18 (PTI) A case was registered against eight protesters on the charge of unlawful assembly after they demonstrated at the police commissionerate earlier this month seeking action against some police personnel for allegedly assaulting three women and making casteist remarks, an official said. According to police, 15-20 activists entered the Pune Police Commissionerate without permission, raised slogans, and created a ruckus. One of them allegedly tore a letter stating that a preliminary probe had found no substance in the allegations. Bundgarden police recently booked eight demonstrators under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) related to unlawful assembly, obstructing a public servant, and damage to property, an official said on Monday. The activists have alleged that police from Kothrud and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar barged into the women's accommodation without a warrant.
