Visible policing improves adherence to rules, says Kadapa SP
Superintendent of Police (Kadapa) E.G. Ashok Kumar on Friday said that the department believes in visible policing to improve adherence to rules by the public. He was speaking after flagging off a fleet of motorcycles deployed for traffic management on Friday (July 11). The SP said that the two-wheelers, as compared with four-wheelers, can reach remote and narrow locations easily in case of traffic snarls. The sixteen (one Bullet and fifteen Apache RTR) vehicles were formally inducted into the service on July 11 and distributed across the district, viz., seven to Kadapa traffic police station, four to Proddatur, two to Pulivendula and one each to Jammalamadugu, Badvel and Mydukur. Received from the office of Director-General of Police in Mangalagiri, the vehicles are fitted with siren, blinkers, public address system and other modern technological features meant for crowd control. Mr. Kumar said that the regular plying of the vehicles would also instil a sense of confidence among the public and fear among the anti-social elements. Additional Superintendent (Armed Reserve) B. Ramanaiah, Deputy Superintendents Srinivasa Rao (AR), N. Sudhakar (Special Branch), E. Balaswamy Reddy (Women's PS), Abdul Karim (DTC), A. Venkateswarlu (Kadapa), P. Bhavana (Proddatur), P. Rajendra Prasad (Mydukur), Venkateswara Rao (Jammalamadugu) and Murali Naik (Pulivendula) took part in the inaugural.
