Deputy Chief Minister and Home Minister N. Chinarajappa on Sunday said “there is no Maoist activity whatsoever in the State”.
“The police machinery is fully on alert to prevent any attempts by extremists to revive their activities in the State,” he told reporters here.
“Extremists are making a frantic bid for existence,” he remarked while referring to Maoists killing a former extremist branding him as a police informer on the East Godavari-Visakhapatnam border on Friday night.
On international human traffickers’ bid to use the Prakasam coast to illegally transport Sri Lankan Tamils to Australia, he said more marine police stations would be opened to step up surveillance along the coast.
All women police stations would be set up in all police divisions in the districts, he said adding at least one woman constable would be posted in every police station so that women feel free to approach the police when in distress.
Making a mention about the delay in allotment of IPS officers to the State in the wake of the State's division, he said the police machinery would be revamped soon by undertaking transfers at various levels.
