The city of Nagpur has several important Defence establishments. Several officers and personnel serving in Defence forces and retired officers and personnel have settled in the city.

The serving officers/personnel often serve in remote corners of the country and find it difficult to devote time to following up the complaints on a regular basis. Hence, the Help Desk has been established. The officers/personnel of Defence or para-military forces can lodge their complaint in person at the Help Desk or through WhatsApp on the above-stated mobile phone number. City Police will follow up the matters for fast-tracking appropriate action.
