Initiate immediate action against illegal hotels, pubs, dance bars operating till late night in Thane Police Commissionerate area. If any police officer is lax in this action, strict action will be taken against them, said Thane Police Commissioner Dr. Ashutosh Dumbare on Tuesday in the presence of police officers.
A tycoon's son in Pune hit two computer engineers while driving under the influence of alcohol. Against this case, Police Commissioner Dumbare held a meeting with senior police officers of Kalyan, Bhiwandi, Ulhasnagar circle area of Thane Police Commissionerate area on Tuesday. In this meeting, if illegal hotels, pubs, dance bars are open till late night within the circle, immediate action should be initiated against them. Commissioner Dumbare warned that strict action will be taken against any official who is misbehaving in this operation.
Dance bars run till late night
There are more dance bars in Bhiwandi area, Kalyan Shilphata, Newali, Ambernath, Ulhasnagar area in Thane Police Commissionerate area. Some places have pubs, illegal hotels, dhabas. Liquor is sold secretly at dhabas. These dhabas are not allowed by the government. There are complaints from citizens that dance bars are operated late at night when they are closed. It is understood that many complaints have gone to the Thane Police Commissionerate regarding this.
Some of the police officers in the police headquarters circle work as 'collectors' of seniors in the area. There is talk in police circles that those officers are supporting these illegal industries. Only a few police officers are demanding that Commissioner Dumbare find such old 'collectors' and post these officers in the municipal headquarters or control room. Only a list of such 'collector' officers is in the possession of some police officers. These officers have been in the police commissionerate area for years and no officer is ready to speak openly on this issue as they have relations with some seniors.
Now if these officers try to support illegal transactions like illegal hotels, pubs, dance bars in Police Commissionerate areas, some police officers are thinking of giving the list of these officers to Commissioner Dumbare. A senior collector in the Kalyan Circle was transferred to another area. But there is a discussion among the police that the senior made tireless efforts and transferred that 'collector' to the police control room and ensured that his work continued intact.
