Dinesh Kamath's Editorial (Super cops of Navi Mumbai) that was published in Newsband


Super Cops of Navi MumbaiTwo policemen of Navi Mumbai need to be congratulated. The first one is police commissioner of Navi Mumbai Ahmad Javed. Another one is Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Vijay Patil.
Ahmad Javed should be lauded for showing deep concern for senior citizens of Navi Mumbai. Just recently he interacted with members of Senior Citizens Welfare Association. This was an attempt by him to address their problems. He was kind enough to share with them helpline number and he assured them of prompt help when needed. He rightly asked the senior citizens to register themselves at the nearest police station. Ahmad Javed showed special concern for those senior citizens who are alone and are dependent on servants in the absence of children. They were told to register names of servants with their photographs so that policemen could provide them prompt help whenever they needed. Ahmad Javed has indeed proved that he is an ideal policeman.
Another policeman who needs to be applauded is DCP (Traffic) Vijay Patil who is personally taking stern steps to prevent accidents on Navi Mumbai roads. He took certain corrective measures in this direction which should be appreciated. He was the one who introduced the high masts of floodlights at certain points like the Nerul and CBD bridge. It was he who gave the idea of installing railings at Sanpada, Kamothe and Kharghar for safety of passengers. Vijay Patil also often pores over statistics to have a proper understanding of the pattern of road accidents. His office on the ground floor of Konkan Bhavan is always a beehive of activity with the staff busy calling out figures from a plethora of data files. Vijay Patil also pays surprise visits to take stock of the situation. This forces his staff to always remain alert. He has also worked out short distance routes for NMMT buses for the benefit of the commuters. Sometimes he spends hours in the control room and on other days he is found at traffic junction to check out the movement of vehicular traffic. Hat's off to this super cop too.
Navi Mumbai is in need of such super policemen like Ahmad Javed and Vijay Patil who by personally setting examples have shown all the other policemen as to what exactly the qualities of ideal policemen are.
