Srikakulam: In the wake of series of incidents in Andhra Odisha Border area (AOB), the police have decided to step up vigil to prevent untoward incidents in border areas. In Srikakulam, three circle inspector (CI) cadre officers were appointed for three border area police stations which are being notified as sensitive. There are no incidents in Odisha border areas in Srikakulam district for the last ten years.
But in the wake of incidents in adjacent districts, the police decided to step up vigil in these areas. As Maoist sympathisers are moving around the border areas to prove their existence in AOB area, the police officials are considering that the border areas of Srikakulam may turn as shelter zones to extremists.
In the first step, Visakhapatnam range Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of police Ch Srikanth has appointed three CIs for border areas--Mandasa, Battili and Donubhai police stations. These officers will collect information regarding extremists’ movement, their activities, programmes of sympathisers in the areas covered under these police stations limits.
Special officers have also been appointed in border area stations of Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam districts. These officers will start their work soon and collect information from public to alert higher officials, a police officer of special branch said.
