NCP-SP Protests Pune's Deteriorating Law and Order, Demands CM's Resignation
People in Pune are worried because there have been many crimes like murders and fights lately.
A political group called NCP-SP is protesting and asking the state's leader, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, to either quit his job or spend more time fixing the safety problems.
They say that instead of focusing on Pune, he has been busy campaigning far away.
Another person living in Pune for a long time also said that crime has gotten much worse.
Even other political groups agree that the city is becoming unsafe, and they are blaming the current government.
They want the police to take strong action to make sure everyone in Pune can feel safe again.

Party workers allege the BJP-led government has failed to ensure public safety in the city.

Residents express fear and concern over the increasing criminal activities affecting the city's once peaceful reputation.

CM Devendra Fadnavis, as Home Minister, should resign or dedicate his full time to internal security, as he is campaigning in Bihar instead of addressing Pune's issues.
