Strict Action Against Anyone Disrupting Law and Order: AP DGP Warning

The Director General of Police (DGP) of Andhra Pradesh has issued a stern warning against anyone attempting to disrupt law and order in the state, including Guntur district. Speaking in Amaravati regarding the security situation, he clearly stated that taking the law into one's own hands will not be tolerated under any circumstances.

In the backdrop of preparations for local body elections, the DGP conducted a review meeting with senior police officials from Guntur, Palnadu, and Bapatla districts. He directed officials to maintain continuous vigil on anti-social elements and initiate preventive legal actions, including bind-over proceedings up to Rs 10 lakh where necessary.

To curb the illegal transport of country liquor, illicit alcohol, and cash distribution to voters, instructions were given to set up check-posts in border areas and intensify inspections. The DGP also asked officials to review past cases in faction-affected villages and classify polling centers into general, sensitive, and hyper-sensitive categories to deploy adequate security.
