WAKAD/PIMPLE SAUDAGAR, 26 AUGUST - 01 SEPTEMBER 20162Wakad police station shifted near Dange ChowkThe new police station was approved in 2014 and was inaugurated on the August 15, 2016CHANDRASHEKHAR SURYAWANSHI

Officials of the Wakad police station have

appealed to the people to approach them

at the newly inaugurated police station near

Capital Towers on Wakad Road, around 300

metres from Dange Chowk.

The new police station was inaugurated

on Monday, August 15 by Guardian Minister

Girish Bapat.

Wakad, Thergoan, Tathwade, Punawale,

Kalewadi, Rahatani and Jagtap Dairy areas

come under the jurisdiction of the Wakad

police station. The beginning of Rahatani and

Thergoan Police Chowkis are under planning.

The new Wakad Police Station was

approved by the Home Ministry and

Maharashtra State Government in 2014.

After the approval, the Wakad Police Station

was activated on August 31, 2014 by dividing

Sangvi Police Station and Hinjewadi police

stations. Earlier, the old Wakad police station

was operating from Wakad Octroi post chowk.

Various projects like Crime & Criminal

Tracking Network & System (CCTNS) and

CCTV surveillance system room could not

be started due to insufficient space.

Police officials said that more than 500

cases are registered at the police station on

an annual basis and the number of crimes

in Wakad, Pimpri and Nigdi is almost equal.

Senior Police Officer Noormohammad

Shaikh said, “The central place of Wakad

Police Station will be convenient for all

residential societies and citizens. Now,

residents need not go to Hinjewadi to

register complaints. The Wakad Police is

available to serve the people and the people

should also cooperate with them.

The boxes with cross symbols were drawn

before the construction of the Wakad

Nashik Phata BRTS road, due to widening

of the road for parking purposes. Now,

after the construction of the BRTS road,

they still have not been removed by the

officials. However, no parking boards have

been installed at the same place, which is

confusing the commuters.

The Wakad Nashik Phata BRTS road

is a major transportation road in Pimple

Saudagar. Earlier, boxes with cross symbols

were drawn for parking. But after the

changes in the parking lane rule, it was

decided that the marked boxes were not for

parking. ‘No parking’ signboards have also

been installed for the information of the

commuters.

Bapu Gaikwad, PCMC Deputy Engineer BRTS said, “Before the

construction, the Wakad Nashik Phata BRTS

road was wide. Due to the wide size of road,

parking boxes were marked on the road.

Now, the BRTS road is constructed but the

marked places of parking remain as it is.

However, they are not for parking. The paint

used to make those boxes is permanent

and cannot be removed. It can now only be

removed during road tarring.”

Malojirao Patil, Senior Police Inspector Traffic Division said, “The

improper parking marks are causing much

inconvenience to commuters. Several

times we have informed the concerned

department regarding removal of parking

marks but no any action is taken yet.

Commuters are getting confused due to it.”

Local Corporator Shatrughna Kate said, “A few days ago, the symbol was

removed across Pimple Saudagar. I will

instruct the concerned officials to work on

the remaining parts for the convenience of

the commuters. Proper ‘No parking’ boards

will be installed at such places.”

Local Corporator Sheetal Vitthal Kate said, “If parking is allowed where

boxes are made, it will be helpful to decrease

the load of parking. We are planning to use

both lane boxes of Wakad Nashik Phata

BRTS road for the parking purpose. But

first, we have to discuss with the Pimpri

Chinchwad Municipal Corporation officials

along with the traffic officials. Earlier, boxes

were made for parking purposes.”

Nitin Kondhalkar, Chairman, Tushar Residency, Pimple Saudagar said, “If

there is no parking, then paint marks

should be removed immediately. The no

parking board and below there is a parking

box, which is too confusing.”

Vishal Mundada, a resident of Rahatani said, “Due to the marking and

the signboards, I always get confused. If

there is no parking, then the mark should

be removed.”

The improper parking marks are causing much inconvenience to commuters. Several times we have informed the concerned department regarding removal of white stripes but no any action is taken yet. Commuters are getting confused while parking.
