Quick Response from Pune Police in the middle of night

This is an personal experience of a newspaper reader. Reader is a young girl of 19years age. She has started studying very very early morning, rather very very late into night, at about 2am. She sensed couple of people sneakily walking out of her door. When she looked through the eye-hole in the door, she did see two men locking her main door and climbing up the stairs, with some iron weapons in their hands. She woke up her father. They first rang up some phones in their building trying wake up people. Then they called police on 100. The speed of police response that she had described truly deserves hearty accolades, particularly in Indian reality. She called up 100 at 2:53 am. Exactly at 3 am she got a call from local police station saying not to worry as their police vehicle is at doorsteps. At 3:04 am police had reached their house and unlocked their door from outside. There were 9-100 policemen with AK-47 rifles and walky-talky etc.

Till then all her life she never had any interaction with police force. But she was really moved by the speed with which police had responded to her SOS at 3am. She has saluted the Pune police force for it.

I wish to join in her saluting
