Thane: Police Commissioner Ashutosh Dombre has claimed special security arrangements in the city. He said that during the month of Ramadan, there is a lot of crowd in Iftar Bazaar and to ensure that there is no disruption in traffic during Maghrib and Asr, traffic police will be deployed on the spot.

Speaking to Mumbai Press, Ashutosh Dombre said that special attention is also being paid to social media. Action will be taken against those who spread misleading messages on social media. Along with this, the police is also paying attention to the issue of noise pollution. He said that the police receives complaints of noise pollution most of the time. The police investigates all the complaints and verifies them and only then action is ensured.

He said that a meeting was also held with the religious scholars, elders and officials of the city regarding Ramadan, in which the scholars assured to cooperate in every possible way, so Ramadan is being celebrated in a peaceful environment in the police station premises. He said that the police is also keeping an eye on the misuse of social media and action is being taken against anti-social elements and people of a particular community. Ashutosh Dombre said that the festival of Ramzan is going on in Muslim-dominated areas like Mumbra, Thane, Bhiwandi, Kalyan and other areas and people stay awake till late night. In such a situation, special police arrangements have been made.

When Ashutosh Dombre was asked about the objection to Azaan in the name of noise pollution during Ramzan, he said that the mosque officials and scholars have assured that they will follow the guidelines of the Supreme Court and Azaan is being given as per the Supreme Court and noise pollution rules. Loudspeakers are not played at high volume in any mosque, but Azaan is given within the prescribed limit.

He said that when a complaint is received, the police first confirms it for taking action and takes action only if the complaint is proved to be correct. Therefore, if miscreants complain about loudspeakers being played at high volume in the mosque, the police investigate it and take action only if the complaint is proved to be correct.

Regarding Holi, Police Commissioner Ashutosh Dombre said that the police have been instructed to remain alert so that no untoward incident takes place during Holi. Holika Dahan will be celebrated on March 13 and Dholi Vandana (Holi) on March 14. During this time, there will be additional arrangements at religious places and mosques. Along with this, a special alert has been issued in sensitive areas, where incidents of communal violence have occurred earlier. A list of people involved in such acts has been prepared to prevent harassment of women.

Apart from this, special police teams have been deployed to keep an eye on public places, sensitive places and celebrations during Holi. Ashutosh Dombre said that any person, irrespective of religion or nationality, should celebrate his festival peacefully. The police is with them.

If any person creates a ruckus, the police will take action against the miscreants. No one needs to panic or panic.

Mumbai: A Samajwadi Party leader and MLA has been suspended from the budget session of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly for reciting the Qasidah of Aurangzeb of Mumbai.

Abu Asim Azmi has demanded the Assembly Speaker to withdraw the suspension action against him and said that I have not said anything wrong. I have also apologized for the uproar over my statement, so that the proceedings are not affected. Despite this, I have been suspended, which is completely wrong.

He said that Prashant Koratkar and Sholapurkar have insulted Shivaji Maharaj and no action will be taken against them. The government should review my suspension.

Mumbai: After the suspension of Abu Asim Azmi from Maharashtra Assembly, NCP leader and MLA Jitendra Ahwat criticized the government and asked why the government is trying to save Rahul Sholapurkar and Prashant Koratkar.

Are they the government’s son-in-law? What did Nehru say, what did Savarkar say? Leave all this. What action has been taken against both of them? Both have to remain silent.

That is why Abu Asim Azmi has been brought forward. Efforts are being made to save Prashant Koratkar and Rahul Sholapurkar. The government is bowing down to them.

No action has been taken against Koratkar and Sholapurkar who spoke against Chhatrapati Shivaji. Will the government take action against them?
