Cuttack: The Commissionerate of Police have intensified enforcement for the upcoming urban body polls. DCP Prateek Singh said the police have mounted strict vigilance on people with criminal antecedents.
A blueprint has been readied to ensure that history sheeters do not get a chance to plan untoward incidents. Special teams have been formed to conduct patrolling and enforcement in view of the municipal polls, said Singh.
People possessing licensed firearms have been directed to deposit the weapons with the nearest police stations. Besides, round-the-clock policing is being done to check boot-legging and drug trafficking.
So far as the campaigning is concerned, the political parties will need to adhere to COVID guidelines issued by the State Election Commission. Violations in any form will be dealt with strongly, the DCP added.
