Mumbai, Sep 7, 2016: Concerned by the growing attacks on policemen, Shiv Sena President Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday called on Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis seeking a solution to the problem.
Fadnavis, who also holds the home portfolio in the alliance government between the Shiv Sena and the Bharatiya Janata Party, met Thackeray and a delegation of policemen’s wives at his official residence.
“The CM’S response was very positive to the serious issue and he promised to look into all our demands,” Thackeray said after emerging from the meeting in which he led the delegation.
He reiterated the demand for a separate full-time minister to handle the home department, citing grounds that the CM was already overloaded with other work.
“If the policemen themselves don’t feel secure, how will they carry out their duties of protecting the people? Attacks must stop and action must be taken against the perpetrators,” Uddhav pointed out.
He said he had raised the entire gamut of issues concerning police including housing problems.
