Hindustan Times  

Rashmi Shukla, whose tenure as Director General of Police was extended till January 2026 — she was due to retire in June this year — is the first woman DGP of Maharashtra. Based on the data acquired by the India Justice Report over the period of a decade, here are some of the main issues she will need to tackle: Police Vacancies among STs Too few OBC, ST/SC police personnel Maharashtra police continue to face challenges in meeting the reservation quotas for SC/ST/OBCs with numbers falling short in both- officer ranks and the constabulary. In 2022, Maharashtra was among a handful of states that showed maximum compliance, failing only to fully comply with Section 41C of the CrPC, 1973, which requires the state government to ensure that the names and addresses of individuals arrested, along with the names and designations of the police officers responsible for the arrests, are prominently displayed on the notice board located outside the control rooms in each district. Maharashtra Police Officer Vacancy Recruit more women Maharashtra currently has 1,168 police stations but only 1,570 women Sub-Inspectors. However as per our analysis, while Maharashtra has partially complied by forming State Level Oversight Committees, and District Level Oversight Committees, it is yet to install CCTVs with audio-video, night vision and large storage capacities in all 1168 police stations in the state.
