Thieves Strike at Bavdha Again
THIEVES have come back to torment the residents of
Ramnagar colony, Bavdhan, again. With as many as three back-to-back thefts
in the last one month, the woes of the mostly senior citizens of the
colony continues. The basic problem centers around the fact that
despite the colony being in Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) limits, they
continue to be serviced by the Pune rural police, with its outpost in Paud
village - 30 kms away. Readers will recall (PT, Sep 26, 2001) how this
colony, a mix of multiple small societies, had been hit by three thefts in
15 days last year. The present policing arrangement is ridiculous,
considering that the Paud village police take three hours to reach the
site of the crime. Villi Ragi’s home in the Rustic Dale society of
Ramnagar colony was the latest to be burgled on the night of July 16,
2002. Amal Bannerjee, her neighbor, had to make five phone calls to get to
the police. It is obvious that the Pune city police would provide
better service to the over-populated Bavdhan area than the rural police. Ranjitsingh Sharma, city police commissioner, had
told PT in December 2001 (PT, Dec 7) that he would definitely include
Bavdhan and 47 other villages in his latest proposal to the state
government when asking for six new police stations. However, seven months down the line, Sharma says that
Bavdhan is now not part of this much-hyped proposal. “Our proposal only asks for six new police stations
to bifurcate the existing police stations that have become unmanageable.
Bavdhan is not part of this plan,” Sharma told PT on Monday. Copyright
