Complainants, who are mostly tribals, in Yelagiri Hills, which is part of Jawadhu Hills, near Tirupattur will no longer need to travel to Jolarpet to know the status of the cases filed by them as the police station on the hills will soon be upgraded to expedite investigation of cases filed there.
At present, the Yelagiri Hills station is attached to Jolarpet police station for investigation of all cases related to crime, law & order and traffic, because the Jolarpet station is led by a Circle Inspector, with more investigation powers, whereas the Yelagiri Hills station is headed by a sub-inspector.
