CM Eknath Shinde’s Son objects to Thane Police circular for traffic diversion near residence
After the Thane Police diverted traffic movement near the Thane residence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde ‘Shubhdeep’ in Louiswadi in Thane, Shinde’s son wasn’t in favour of it and he wrote a letter to the Thane Police Commissioner for their unilateral since it has drawn criticisms. The letter also stated that the Shindes do not want to put the citizens of the city to any kind of hardships.
Following the receipt of the letter, the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Traffic, withdrew the circular on Wednesday night.
Police have stepped up security outside the private residence of the chief minister in Loiuswadi area in Thane city in view of the protests by Maratha community members for quota in various parts of the state.
As per Shrikant Shinde, sans consulting them, the police took the decision on traffic diversion outside their residential building.
Reportedly, the traffic wing of the Thane Police issued a circular on Wednesday for traffic changes in Louiswadi area, where the CM’s residence ‘Shubhdeep’ building is located.
The changes are proposed for the family members of the Chief Minister and Shrikant’s name is also mentioned in it though neither he nor his family made any such request or suggestion to change the traffic in their residential area. Also, the Shindes were not given any forewarning before issuing the notification in such a manner.
Because of the circular issued by the police, his family is being defamed in media and social media.
Shrikant further went on to add that It’s the fault of the police and they are being criticised for the same and has resulted in a very irritating situation.
Further added they have no right to block the road of common people and they do not accept the VIP culture at all.
The letter stated that strict action would be taken against the officials who issued the traffic change circular and the road should be opened for traffic.
Shrinkant Shinde called up the DCP and categorically told him that any such notification which would trouble the citizens was not acceptable. Hence the notification was being cancelled, the DCP (traffic) stated.
