On the one hand when the government is trying to help the people by increasing the police force and equipping the force with latest technique so they can immediately help the common man but the story of policing in the Bhind district is entirely different.
The sub inspector of Aswar police station Nagesh Sharma doesn't picks up the phone in the hour of need and when the villagers try to telephone at the phone number of police station the fact comes on the surface that the police station has no public telephone. When the villager contacted The Pioneer correspondent for the help in the late evening the sub inspector Nagesh Sharma ddidn't pick up the phone of The Pioneer correspondent and when The Pioneer contacted SDOP Lahar Avneesh Bansal he told that Aswar police station has no public telephone and the villagers in need should contact dial 100 police van for help.
Villagers told that the Aswar is the biggest village of Bhind district with banks, government college and hospital and Aswar police station is in the village itself located besides Lahar Sewada state highway and police man can very easily reach to the villager in just 5 minutes but if they call to dial 100 police Van it will come from a long distance of around 25 kilometers which will not only take long time but it will also be the wastage of police force and diesel of police van and many of the time the dial 100 police van is engaged at some other places.
Villagers urged the government that the public telephone should be immediately set up at the Aswar police station so they can call at the police station in the hour of need. DIG Bhind Sachin Atulkar told The Pioneer that it is the compulsory order of the government that a public telephone should always be active in every police station and tomorrow new Bhind SP is joining I will instruct him to see why the Aswar police station has no public telephone will be checked also the mobile number of beat in charge police man will be displayed in every beat of the Aswar police station area so that villager can call the police and Sub inspector Nagesh Sharma will also be instructed to pick up the phone and listen to the information of villagers and give them proper reply. We will review the public telephone of all the police stations of Bhind district DIG added.
