Security has been tightened along the inter-State borders of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Chhattisgarh in view of the Assembly elections in the neighbouring States.
The police are maintaining a strict vigil on the movement of the cadres of banned CPI (Maoist), flow of liquor and money, and distribution of freebies in the border villages.
Instructions have been issued to the IGPs, DIGs and Superintendents of Police (SPs) concerned to keep a close watch on the rowdy, history and suspect-sheeters, particularly those with a history of involvement in election-related violence cases, said Andhra Pradesh Director General of Police (DGP) K.V. Rajendranath Reddy.
