On Tuesday, Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis gave a lesson to the Thane police on Twitter for not giving proper reply to a complaint and told them how to do it. And we are sure Thane Police will think twice before responding on Twitter.
Here’s how it all started:
An irritated Twitter user who goes by the name Dps S tried to seek help from Thane City police about the massive traffic jam at Ghodbunder in Thane.

What he got was an indifferent bureaucratic response from them who were clearly trying to evade responsibility
@DpsS9 @CPMumbaiPolice @Dev_Fadnavis Jurisdiction of Thane rural police. kindly intimate them.

But thankfully, Chief Minister Fadnavis, who was also tagged in the tweet, had a prompt response to this and gave a befitting lesson to Thane Police on how to actually reply
@ThaneCityPolice Your reply should be ‘It is under Thane Rural Police jurisdiction and “we will inform them”.’@DpsS9 @CPMumbaiPolice
— Devendra Fadnavis (@Dev_Fadnavis) July 2, 2016
The Thane City Police then responded and thanked the CM for pointing that out
@Dev_Fadnavis @DpsS9 Sir, as a protocol, we always call & inform the concerned authority irrespective of the jurisdiction & it was done 1/2

@Dev_Fadnavis @DpsS9 2/2 in this case too. However you have rightly pointed out that the complainant should be told that too. Thank you sir.

The complainant seemed truly delighted

That’s a responsible CM who doesn’t blame others, but fixes quietly when he sees wrong. Kudos @Dev_Fadnavis sir. pic.twitter.com/Eh7zaeNHmZ
