Use tech to curb crime: Chandrababu Naidu

 

The Passing Out Parade of 452 sub-inspectors including 284 civil, 108 APSP, 38 AR, 14 SPF and 8 CPL of 2014-15 batch from the state was held at the Police Training College in Anantapur on Tuesd-ay. The cadets were train-ed at APPA in Hyderabad along with sub-inspectors of Telangana. However, Anantapur PTC opted to host the POP following state division.

 

Mr Naidu, who was the chief guest on the occasion, said that policing should be simple but the effect of work should be visible. Companies and investors would prefer huge investments at places depending on law and order. Mr Naidu hoped the newly recruited sub inspectors would ensure law and order in their jurisdictions and be part of developing the state facing hurdles.

 

Saying that 46 engineering graduates and 191 post-graduates were among the Sis' batch, Mr Naidu said professional graduates were also willing to serve the police force. "Police should never be afraid of anti-social elements. You should terrorise them to ensure law and order." 

Deputy Chief Minister China Rajappa said Anantapur Police Training College would be developed as an alternative training centre for the state following state division. "We will take up development of Anantapur PTC as training centre for various wings."

 

DGP J.V. Ramudu, IGP training Athul Singh, PTC principal P. Venkatrami Reddy, ministers Devineni Umamaheswar Rao, P. Sunitha and P. Raghunath Reddy and several others participated. 

Earlier, the Deputy Chief Minister and Home Minister announced recruitment of 4,000 constables in the state. Speaking to media, Mr Rajappa said that Harirama Jogaiah's comments in the Ranga murder case were not fair and correct. He wondered why Mr Jogaiah had not reacted on the issue previously and said political reasons were behind the issue.
