Since he took charge as Mumbai’s top cop, Sanjay Pandey has been on a mission mode to make the city more disciplined. Thanks to his proactiveness, Mumbaikars now have the privilege of being connected to the police chief through WhatsApp, text messages, Facebook and Twitter.
The moves taken by Pandey so far include making taxis follow traffic discipline, removing the need for visiting police stations for passport verification, making the city noise-free, removing khataras from roadsides, and 8-hour shifts for women cops. A woman constable from a western suburb said, “He [Pandey] is like god to us…We are thankful to him as we can now spend quality hours with our family, too.”
