Hyderabad: Telangana police have issued a caution to citizens who are traveling to their native places to celebrate the Sankranti festival with their loved ones. As thieves often target homes when the occupants are away, the police urge people to secure their houses before leaving.
Citizens are advised to install and ensure that CCTVs at their homes are functioning properly. They should also monitor the CCTV feeds periodically through apps. The police recommend keeping lights on and arranging curtains in a way that makes it difficult to tell the house is vacant. Additionally, they are also advised to inform their neighbors about their absence.
Most importantly, the police advise against leaving valuables such as ornaments and cash at home and caution against leaving spare keys inside the house. By following these precautions, citizens can help ensure the safety of their homes while they enjoy the festivities.
