The event attracted a good response, especially from senior citizens and women who actively participated in various programs. A total of 11 stalls were set up by the Pune City Police, each dedicated to showcasing various policing departments and functions of the police force comprising the Cybercrime Cell, Bharosa Cell, Dog Squad, Damini Squad, Traffic Branch, and other units.

On the occasion, Kumaarr said “Tarang is a special initiative to bridge the gap between the police force and the community. We want the public to understand our efforts, and this event provides a platform for interactive engagement. Also, the event is a reflection of the changing nature of the police force and the tremendous efforts being undertaken by the law enforcement department for the cause of citizens,” he said.

Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Higher and Technical Education Minister Chandrakant Patil also visited the event and lauded the efforts of the police during the function.
