Mulund, April 10, 2025 – Tensions continue to escalate in Mulund East as the Mumbai Police, under the leadership of Commissioner Vivek Phansalkar, strive to maintain law and order amidst growing concerns over alleged corruption and mismanagement within the local police force. The Navaghar Police Station, recently dubbed a “kitley hot” zone, finds itself at the center of controversy as accusations of negligence towards illegal businesses flourish.
According to sources within the Mumbai Police, Commissioner Phansalkar has initiated a series of comprehensive preventive measures to curb rising crime rates and illicit activities across the city. However, conflicting reports from the Navghar Police station East SR Police Inspector indicate a lack of coherence in their efforts, particularly concerning the operations at Navaghar Police Station.
“While the Commissioner is committed to upholding the law, it appears that some officers at the local level are faltering in their duties,” stated an anonymous source within the police department. “The phrase ‘Man Ka Mauji, Mai Rama Jogi’ seems to be more of a motto than a meaningful directive, as many illegal establishments continue to operate with impunity.”
Reports suggest that despite repeated orders from higher authorities to close down unlawful businesses, enforcement at the Navaghar Police Station remains lackluster. Local residents express frustration over the police’s apparent inability to coordinate effectively, leading to an environment where illegal activities flourish.
“I have seen the same groups of people loitering around after dark, and it is concerning,” commented Ramesh Patil, a concerned local resident. “We want to feel safe in our community, but it seems like the police are more interested in turning a blind eye.”
The situation raises critical questions regarding the integrity of law enforcement in the region. Critics argue that without strict accountability, the brazen disregard for legal protocols will only worsen. Moreover, the lack of coordination among police officers seems to hinder the effectiveness of measures intended to safeguard the public.
Community leaders are urging local authorities to take swift action to rectify the situation. “We need effective policing that genuinely protects our interests,” asserted Shalini Deshmukh, a member of the Mulund Residents’ Association. “It is imperative that the police department addresses these allegations seriously, ensuring that officers who are neglecting their duties face consequences.”
As the tension continues to rise in Mulund East, the necessity for transparency and accountability within the police force becomes abundantly clear. It is vital for the Mumbai Police to address these allegations and restore public confidence in their ability to safeguard the community.
In conclusion, while the efforts of Mumbai Police Commissioner Vivek Phansalkar provide a framework for maintaining law and order, the challenges faced by the Navaghar Police Station highlight significant gaps in execution and oversight. The community is watching closely, hoping for a resolution that restores safety and trust in their local law enforcement.
