Knowledge is power, and keeping this thought in mind, Sandip Patil, the newly-appointed Superintendent of Police (Pune rural), has made an off-beat request to his well-wishers.
Patil's transfer from Satara to Pune is a reason for celebration, and naturally, many guests and well-wishers will soon visit him with gifts—traditionally flower bouquets. However, Patil wants to take this opportunity to spread the value of education to the Naxal district of Gadchiroli.
He has thus, requested his well-wishers to give him books instead of bouquets.
Speaking to Pune Mirror, the IPS officer said, "This is the second time in my career that I've made such an appeal to citizens and visitors. When I took over as the SP in Satara in 2016, I accepted books instead of flowers, and we then sent all the books to students and youths in Gadchiroli.
Pune has a robust reading culture, and thus, I have appealed that those who come to meet or visit me should bring books and not flowers."
