Speaking to TNIE, CP Kanthi Rana Tata said flying and static surveillance teams were placed in all identified problematic locations across the district focussing more on the interstate borders. He further added that officials of two districts and nodal officers were exchanging the information about enforcement and intelligence pertaining to unaccounted cash, gold, liquor and other valuables. This coordinated enforcement will be of great help and will continue till the elections.
Explaining further, Rana said all the departments such as Special Enforcement Bureau (SEB), excise, forest, banking and revenue department officials were taken into consideration and will increase the teams in coming days. “With the help of these teams, we are able to seize Rs 5 crore worth unaccounted cash and gold ornaments at interstate check posts,” he added. Suryapet district Collector S Venkata Rao said special teams comprising 10 officials were formed and posted at integrated check posts in the State border and the team is serving duties by keeping an eye on vehicles moving towards NTR and Palnadu districts.
“On a daily basis, we are sharing information to NTR district officials pertaining to enforcement and other election related activities,” he said.
Suryapet district SP BK Rahul Hegde said two check posts at Ramapuram cross-road and Dondapadu will be set up and proceedings will be linked to the police control room for monitoring the activities. “High quality CCTV cameras will be installed at all integrated checkposts for transparency,” he added.
