VIJAYAWADA: As many as 135 out of 1,021 police stations in Andhra Pradesh do not have transport vehicles according to the latest report of the Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPR&D). Further, vehicle distribution among police stations appear to be skewed in AP as the department has more vehicles than the sanctioned number.
The police department has 9,681 vehicles, which include heavy duty vehicles, four-wheelers, two-wheelers, special vehicles such as anti-riot vehicles, bulletproof and mine protected vehicles. Of these, only 2,641 vehicles are with police stations across the state, states the BPR&D report.
