Ahead of the Telangana Assembly elections, Mancherial district police have stepped up surveillance at ferry points along Pranahita river to ensure incident-free and peaceful elections in the district, which shares a border with Maharashtra’s Gadchiroli district.
A check-post has been set up at the ferry point in Vemanapally mandal to maintain round-the-clock surveillance as part of security arrangements to strictly enforce the model code of conduct and ensure free and fair elections, sources said.
Ramagundam Police Commissioner Rema Rajeshwari, on Thursday, inspected the ferry points in Kotapally mandal and made an on-the-spot assessment of the security measures at riverside villages, including Venchapalli.
