TDP demands to position sufficient police at sensitive areas

Amaravati: The TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu demanded DGP RP Thakur to position sufficient police strength at sensitive places to conduct polling smoothly, in a letter on Thursday.

He said that, "we have communicated a list of sensitive polling stations to position adequate police personnel in such villages.

However, a number of complaints are being received from the contesting candidates, Chief election agents and the media that in several polling stations the YSRCP leaders, election agents and polling agents have resorted to violence and obstruction to polling process.

There is a lot of violence in Kadapa, Ananthapur and Kurnool and Nellore districts. In certain cases they have even damaged the polling material like EVMs and threatening the polling personnel to allow them to rig the votes."

Controlling Law and order situation and ensuring peaceful conduct of poll is of immediate necessity.

Naidu request to instruct all the Superintendents of Police and other Law enforcing agencies to strictly control the law and order and arrest the culprits and take stringent action against the persons responsible.

He also requested DGP to reinforce bandobasth in all the sensitive polling stations prone for violence.
