Visakhapatnam: The annual mobilisation programme will help in enhancing the discipline and skills of the armed police personnel, said Anakapalli district superintendent of police Gowthami Sali.

The programme was conducted for a period of 15 days.

During the programme, prizes were given as a mark of encouragement to police personnel who performed best while discharging their duties.
