Nashik: Director general of police (DGP) Satish Mathur, who came to Nashik for a day’s visit on Saturday, regretted that officers were often reluctant to take postings in eastern parts of the state.“The police officers are not ready to take postings in districts like Gadchiroli, Chandrapur and parts of Yawatmal in Vidarbha region. The officers of the rank of deputy superintendent currently undergoing training in Maharashtra Police Academy (MPA) will however have to be ready to take up the job,” Mathur said on Saturday.The officer also expressed displeasure over officers unwilling to take up the postings in training centres. “It is the duty of the police officers to provide basic training to the trainees in the training centres. The officers therefore should be ready to take up the responsibility of training the cadets as this is the biggest service to the force,” he said.Mathur, who inaugurated the website of the MPA, further lauded the e-academy and virtual classroom in the MPA. “The e-academy and virtual classrooms started by the MPA are first of its kind in the country for the police force. This has only added another task to the commissioners of police and the superintendent of police that of upgrading the knowledge of their subordinates by taking review exams. The officers can use the online examination system available at the e-academy,” he said.The 1981-batch IPS officer also felicitated about 70 students in another programme organized at Shankaracharya Dr Kurtakoti Sabhagruha. The meritorious children of police employees and officers were felicitated by the DGP.The DGP also went through the presentation of the welfare works being carried out by the police department for the staff at Nashik and expressed satisfaction over the same.
