South Mumbai's cops will finally get some relief at work, with the top brass taking serious steps to address the pathetic conditions of toilets across police stations. Just days after this paper launched its campaign, 'Cop-ping a Stink' to highlight the crappy condition of the toilets, senior officers have issued orders to clean the filth and ensure all equipment is in working condition.
Sources told mid-day that the Additional Commissioner of Police (South Region) Pravinkumar Padwal asked the zonal deputy commissioners of police (DCPs) to ensure that the toilets at their police stations are cleaned at the earliest. "The station in-charge is supposed to keep the premises of his/her police station clean. The dirty toilets have been cleaned now," Padwal said.
