He stressed that timely information from citizens can help the police respond quickly and take appropriate action.

Independence Day Call for a Crime-Free Nagpur

He called upon every citizen to take responsibility for contributing to a peaceful and secure Nagpur.

“Citizens should come forward along with the police to make Nagpur safe, peaceful and crime-free. Providing the right information to the police at the right time is an important responsibility of every citizen,” he said.
