Andhra Pradesh: SPs of neighbouring districts, additional forces rushed to Amalapuram to contain violence

Amalapuram Police Rajendranath Reddy

Director General of Police (DGP) K.V. Rajendranath Reddy on Tuesday said that ten IPS officers, battalions and additional forces were rushed to the Konaseema district headquarters of Amalapuram to quell fiery protests against the proposed renaming of the district.

The State government’s proposal to rename Konaseema district as B.R. Ambedkar Konaseema district prompted the Konaseema Sadhana Samithi to launch a protest rally, which spiralled out of control as mobs went on the rampage.

Mr. Rajendranath Reddy said that the Visakhapatnam Police Commissioner, two DIGs, Superintendents of Police of Kakinada, Rajamahendravaram, Krishna, West Godavari districts, battalions and additional forces have been deputed to Amalapuram.
