Nashik Guardian Minister Dada Bhuse in presence of  Nashik Range Special IG Dattatray Karale, Nashik District SP Vikram Deshmane, Additional SP Aditya Mirkhelkar flagged-off the newly-inducted motorcycles.

The Nashik Rural Police headed by Superintendent of Police IPS Vikram Deshmane on Saturday received 75 new two-wheelers to be inducted into the police unit that covers an area of 15,000 sq km. Of these, 45 Honda Shine bikes have been given by the District Planning Committee (DPC) headed by Guardian Minister Dada Bhuse by making a provision in the District Annual Plan. 

While the remaining 30 Bajaj Pulsar motorcycles have been given by the Office of the Director General of Police, Maharashtra.

The new two-wheelers will help the police unit give a quicker response to people’s grievances especially to the Dial 112 calls by the citizens as well as enable the policemen on duty to reach to the remotest and highly inaccessible areas, said IPS Vikram Deshmane who did a relentless follow-up with the District Collector for induction of new motorcycles.

These vehicles will be useful during night patrolling, crime detection, naka bandi, and various types of bandobasts.  

Guardian Minister Dada Bhuse and Special IG Dattatray Karale hand a symbolic key to two officers while SP Vikram Deshmane and Additional SP Aditya Mirkhelkar look on.  

Besides, commissioning of these new vehicles holds much significance in the backdrop of coming into force of the three new criminal laws — Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam.

With a Superintendent of Police at the helm, the Nashik Rural Police has 40 police stations, eight offices of Sub-Divisional Police Officers and two offices of Additional Superintendents of Police.

As many as 3,500 police personnel including the senior officers, their subordinate colleagues and the rank and file work day and night to keep the law and order under control.
