Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday flagged off over 1200 advanced vehicles for the Mumbai Police Force at Nariman Point. At the inaugural ceremony, CM Fadnavis was accompanied by Ministers Mangal Prabhat Lodha, Yogesh Kadam, among other dignitaries.
According to the Mumbai Police, the CM flagged off 633 four-wheelers and 657 motorcycles at Nariman Point, strengthening the Mumbai Police’s people-centric response and on-ground readiness. "These additions will enable us to respond faster, more effectively, and efficiently, further reinforcing the safety and security of our citizens."
Speaking on the features of these advanced vehicles, S. Jayakumar, Joint Commissioner of Police, Mumbai Police, told IANS that all these vehicles have a mobile data terminal, a vehicle tracking system, and a GPS.
Moreover, he also added that four motorcycles, four Scorpio Neos, and a Mobile One Van will be added to all police stations, thus reducing the response time during an emergency. He further added that currently, the response time of Mumbai Police is 5.30 minutes, however, with these additions, the response time will also be reduced.
Apart from this, Maharashtra CM virtually inaugurated the Tardeo-Nagpada-Mumbai Central flyover, a key east-west connecting link in south Mumbai that offers commuters a smoother alternative route. The earlier 130-year-old British-era bridge at Mumbai Central had been declared dangerous and was subsequently dismantled.
The new flyover is expected to restore the east-west connectivity disrupted for the past two years and ease congestion on Jehangir Boman Behram Road (earlier Bellasis Road), Dr Dadasaheb Bhadkamkar Marg (Grant Road), Pathe Bapurao Marg and the Mahalaxmi station bridge.
The flyover connects Tardeo, Nagpada and Mumbai Central railway station. The BMC completed the flyover near Mumbai Central railway station in a record 15 months and six days.
