A couple of years ago Inspector Vasant Dhoble was made in-charge of Vile Parle East. He did his job very deligently and we were able to actually walk around Vile Parle East ON FOOTPATHS cleared of encroachments. As it is bound to happen in case of anybody who works fast and by the book, Insp Dhoble was shifted out. Parlekars, in association with some local persons and BJP persons did a signature campaign to petition the Government to post him back here. Nothing came out of it.
Now we are back to walking on the roads dodging vehicles- both shopkeepers and hawkers have encroached on the walkways completely. And car owners are back to parking on footpaths- another reason for walking on the road.
Meanwhile, I read about the wonderful work Insp Dhoble is doing in tracing missing persons. A record number of boys, girls and adults- some as young as 2 years old have been rescued and reunited with their families. The credit belongs to the whole team, but I must say Insp Dhoble is an exemplary worker- always doing his best wherever he goes.
Now BJP is in power and I used to often think that they can submit all those signatures and get Insp Dhoble back here. After I read in the papers that he is doing so well in his current assignment, I felt the 'need of someone else in greater than Vile Parle's'. There is no doubt that tracing missing persons and breaking the backbone of human trafficking is more important than enforcing municipal anti-encroachment laws. I think now a good worker like Insp Dhoble should continue to do this work. I will not sign on any petition asking to post him back to Vile Parle, as long as he is in the 'missing persons- finding department.
I would however like it if his successor emulates him. Insp Dhoble can always guide him. And it is proven that Parlekars will give whole-hearted support.
