Pune Rural police to plant 10,000 saplings during palkhi
Pune: The Pune Rural police has decided to plant 10,000 saplings of local varieties along the palkhi route at police headquarters, police stations, open govt plots, palkhi halting spots, and other locations with the help of district forest officials.
"We have already started the drive and planted 1,000 saplings at Pune and Baramati police headquarters," said Pune Rural SP Sandeep Singh Gill.
"The decision was taken to plant saplings of neem, banyan and mango, among others under the state govt's Harit Wari (Green Wari) initiative," Gill said.
"Constables and beat marshals, with the help of local villagers, will take care of the saplings," he said.
Additional superintendents of police Ramesh Chopade and Ganesh Biradar distributed saplings to police stations across the district.
On June 22, Pune Rural police will receive the palkhis of Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj and Sant Tukaram Maharaj at Zendewadi near Dive Ghat and Uruli Kanchan on Solapur highway.
"We have identified the spots to plant the saplings. Our teams, along with district forest officials, will plant saplings on govt lands and at villages where palkhis take an overnight halt," Gill said.
Bandobast for palkhis
Pune Rural police will provide a bandobast of two additional SPs, 10 deputy SPs, 35 inspectors, 136 sub/assistant inspectors, and 1,624 police constables, along with various companies of the State Reserve Police Force (SRPF) for six days.
