Annoyed that cops turned away citizens between 3 pm and 5 pm because they were taking siestas, police commissioner Sanjay Barve has decided to turn the time slot into visiting hours instead

CP Sanjay Barve sent out the order around three days ago
Newly-appointed commissioner of police Sanjay Barve is coming for cops' afternoon naps. Upset with senior officers taking two to three-hour siestas, Barve has changed the visiting hours to 3 pm to 5 pm. Around three days ago, he passed an order asking officers to spare their afternoons to meet complainants and evenings for patrolling.
Many senior officers have implemented the order - which has come as a relief to visitors - by changing the hours displayed outside their police stations. Most cops seem to have taken it well, although they are defending their activities during those hours.
