AITWA Delegation Thanks Maharashtra Police for Swift Action

On October 8, 2026, a delegation from the All India Transport Welfare Association (AITWA), led by National President Shri Ashok Goyal, convened with Maharashtra's Director General of Police, Shri Sadanand Date, in Mumbai. This meeting aimed to express appreciation for the swift action taken by the Maharashtra Police in a recent theft incident in Malegaon, where a significant portion of the stolen materials was recovered promptly.

The incident in question occurred last month, raising concerns within the transport community. AITWA highlighted the police's efficiency, noting that 90% of the stolen items were retrieved within just 48 hours. This rapid response has been crucial in restoring confidence among transport operators in the region.

During the meeting, AITWA officials, including General Secretary Shri Abhishek Gupta and Action Group members Shri Jitendra Parikh and Shri Girish Limda, acknowledged the police's efforts and discussed the importance of continued support in similar situations. They emphasized the need for a streamlined process for registering First Information Reports (FIRs) to ensure timely action in future incidents.

The collaboration between AITWA and the Maharashtra Police is seen as vital for enhancing the safety and security of the transport sector. AITWA has committed to working closely with law enforcement to address any challenges that may arise, ensuring that transport operators can operate without fear of theft or other criminal activities.

Looking ahead, AITWA plans to maintain regular communication with police authorities to foster a proactive approach to transport safety. The organization aims to establish protocols that facilitate quicker responses to incidents, thereby supporting the welfare of the transport community across Maharashtra.
