Policing Pune in times of terror

Commissioner of Police Gulabrao Pol talks to Team MiD DAY on the importance of public awareness and the role media can play in keeping the city a secure place at a time when suspected terror operative Qateel Siddiqui's murder in jail and 26/11 terrorist Ajmal Qasab's execution in the city have given rise to fears of more terror attacks

Listen to this article :

The city seems to be a hot terror target. What might be the reason?
The city is expanding in all directions. A lot of people are migrating from outside and settling here. We don’t even know who our neighbours are. Therefore the whole scenario demands public support for security.

Did you notice a casual approach on the part of people towards the recent mock drill on Fergusson College Road?
People are not at all serious about security. We have appealed frequently to the media and the people about creating awareness. We have also undertaken various campaigns in schools and colleges. People touch or come close to any unidentified object without thinking and make it difficult for us to control the situation. In the Beed radio (blast) case and on FC Road, people displayed their carelessness towards their own security.
