The Nandyal district police have stepped up security ahead of the November 1 municipal elections, deploying around 1,925 personnel to ensure peaceful polling and prevent electoral malpractices.
Superintendent of Police Sunil Shoran said “elaborate arrangements” have been made to enable voters to exercise their franchise freely without fear, intimidation, or inducements. The deployment includes 1,404 civil police personnel and 40 Andhra Pradesh Special Police personnel, besides staff from other departments.
As many as 20 checkposts, including two inter-State and nine inter-district checkposts, have been established to curb the illegal transportation of cash, liquor and other prohibited items.
