The police officials of Chittoor and Annamayya districts have stepped up digital surveillance in public areas, and mobile patrolling in rural areas, in the wake of unrest in the Konaseema district where protests erupted against renaming Konaseema district after B.R. Ambedkar.
Police officials at all stations were put on alert and special teams were formed to strengthen night patrol, with a focus on the rural areas.
“We will keep a watch on those who have vandalized statues in the past. Our teams will take up regular visits to remote villages to prevent trouble,” said Deputy SP (Law and Order) N. Sudhakar Reddy in Chittoor.
