Mumbai: Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) President Sharad Pawar on Friday expressed concerns over the declining law and order situation in Maharashtra. He also slammed the Eknath Shinde Govt over the 'security of women' in the state.
Addressing a Press Conference, Pawar claimed that there were 19,533 women reported "missing" from the state between January 1 and May 31 this year.
"Law and order issues are going on in Maharashtra. An important city like Nagpur is spoken in a different way. After getting information about it, some things came to light. Our colleagues raised some questions even in the monsoon session. 19 thousand 553 women and girls went missing during the period of five months from January 1, 2023 to May 31, 2023, this includes 1453 girls under 18 years of age. After seeing this number, it is clear that the situation is very serious. It is expected that the state government and the Home Ministry will take serious note of this and devise a remedial plan," Pawar said in a statement.
Sharad Pawar also targeted the Maharashtra Government over the 'contractual hiring' of personnel in Mumbai police and said that the recruitment should be done on a permanent basis. (with ANI inputs)
