Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray will lead a delegation of the family members of police personnel to meet Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today.
The chief minister, who holds the Home portfolio, will be apprised of the problems being faced by the kin of cops, against the backdrop of growing incidents of attack on the men in khaki while discharging their duty.
“Mumbai police officers and their family members met Uddhav ji at his home and requested him that government take serious cognisance of the problems they are facing,” Thackeray stated in a release.
“It has thus been decided that Uddhav ji, along with police officials will meet the CM on September 7 and carve out a solution to their problems,” it stated.
The issue of safety of policemen has come up following the fatal attack on traffic constable Vilas Shinde in Khar recently by an unruly biker. Shinde succumbed to head injuries last week at Lilavati Hospital.
Fadnavis has been facing flak over “deteriorating” law and order situation, with its ally Shiv Sena demanding a dedicated minister to handle the sensitive portfolio. Last week, a delegation of family members of policemen called on Thackeray at ‘Matoshree’ to apprise him of their problems.
