The Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) is all set to appoint an IPS officer as Chief Safety and Vigilance Officer. The state Home Department has already given its nod for it. According to an official, once the approval from the Chief Minister’s Office is secured, an able IPS officer will be posted on that position.
This crucial position has been lying vacant for several years but a sinister incident of violence against a woman at Swargate in February exposed the chinks in the MSRTC’s security and vigilance mechanisms. The issue was raised in the assembly, compelling Transport Minister and Corporation Chairman Pratap Sarnaik to make the announcement regarding the appointment of an IPS officer on that post soon.
