Ravi Prakash Kumar and other officers inspected the abandoned cabins and bogies, unauthorised entry points into the station, colonies adjacent to tracks, under-bridges and other abandoned places which were prone to crimes.
“We have taken the details of the criminals moving about in Vijayawada, Ramavarappadu, Madhuranagar, Kondapalli, Nidamanuru and three other railway stations under NTR district,” Mr. Kanthi Rana said.
