Are Our Children Safe in School

In a society permeated with violence, there are seemingly few places where one can feel completely safe. Schools were typically regarded as safe havens where children are able to learn and grow without the fear of any type of violence. However, with recent incident of rape on a minor girl student by lab assistant in St Hilda’s Girls School, the public’s trust in the security of schools has been severely marred.


The Khadak police recently booked Kailash Memzade, laboratory assistant at a school, for allegedly raping a 12-year-old girl student on the school premises. The incident came to light after the victim's mother lodged a complaint against Memzade. Inspector Rajendra Kadam (Crime) told that Memzade allegedly threatened to kill the Std V student if she revealed the incident to anyone. The victim's mother also made a complaint against Memzade to the school authorities.

Sunil Darekar: Man with Medals

As a individual and a police officer, Sunil Laxman Darekar, Senior Police Inspector of Warje Police Station, has some outstanding qualities. The ability to reach to the grass roots of any type of crime is one of them. He honed his skill by experimenting different methods on different types of crimes. These experiences enriched his career and also personal life too.


Elaborating his work style, Darekar said, “I always emphasize on study of human relationships. I know that every criminal is a human first. To study his modus oparendi, I study their nature first. Then I get valuable information, which is fruitful to reach a conclusion.”

Durshet

Blessed with a vast coverage of dense forest, Durshet, in the lap of the majestic Sahyadris offers a pleasant and tranquil atmosphere. A perfect blend of calmness and beauty intertwined with the sparkling water of Amba River, Durshet presents the nature at its best.


The Amba River, which flows through the woody forest, would be full of huge natural waterfalls during rainy season and trekking through this majestic falls amidst the lush greenery is a unique experience. The abundance of green all around is thrilling as well as invigorating. Peeling shyness and having a ‘face off’ with your wild side seems most natural here. Durshet offers more adventurous actions like rock climbing, rappelling and river crossing to those who are not satisfied with the mild challenges of trudging and trekking.
