A review of the under-performing flying squads and static surveillance schemes that are in charge of intercepting and inspecting vehicles was carried out here by Collector K.M.Sarayu on Thursday.
The six Assembly segments of Uthangarai(Reserved), Bargur, Krishnagiri, Vepanahalli, Hosur and Thally, have 9 flying squads and 9 static surveillance teams working round-the-clock on a shift basis.
A review of their performance along the inter-state borders was carried out here on Thursday. According to the administration, all the flying squads and Static surveillance squads are mandated to intercept each and every four-wheeler and two-wheeler and those found slacking were being pulled up to task and may be subjected to disciplinary action as per the election rules.
Flying squads must patrol their respective constituencies and not just confine their movement to the highways. Further, any seizure must be immediately recorded and any suo-motu sighting of violations immediately recorded.
Static surveillance teams were also advised to move their inspection spots as per requirements.
All kinds of violations – disbursement of cash, inciting caste, religious passions, violations of advertisements among others – must be immediately recorded, reported and penalised, the teams were told.
Collector Sarayu also warned of action against teams found underperforming and colluding with violators.
