Eluru: West Godavari Superintendent of Police Bhaskar Bhushan placed Pedapadu Sub Inspector Vijay Kumar in Vacant Reserve (VR), for his
negligence in discharging duties.

The SP issued orders stating that the SI has failed to curb the transport of chicken waste to fish ponds in the mandal and did not discharge his
duties properly. Bushan conducted a crime review meeting at district police office here on Sunday with Sub-Divisional Police officers,
Inspectors and Sub Inspectors in the district. The SP also issued Charge Memos to two Inspectors and five Sub Inspectors in Eluru and
Kovvuru Sub division for their negligence.

The SP warned that stringent action will be initiated against the officials who failed to discharge their duties. He expressed dissatisfaction over
the performance of the police in the district and stated the officials are showing negligence. He said that it has come to his notice that some
Sub Inspectors are shifting their duties on the ASIs and police constables in regard to investigation of cases. He warned those Sub Inspectors
to take up investigations on their own otherwise they will be dealt with seriously.

complains on misbehavior, he will take action on those officials concerned.

dissatisfaction over the performance of Eluru City police, the SP said due to negligence of the officials the Law and Order situation is ona
downhill in Eluru that witnessed a series of murders recently. He directed the City police officials to be on alert and initiate action against the
anti-social elements. He urged police officials to arrest people who run liquor shops even after 11 pm in the night time.

eye on the cock-fights and gambling in the district as Pongal festival is due next month. Additional SP N Chandrasekhar, Sub Divisional Police
