Srikakulam Superintendent of Police Amit Bardar on Thursday asked Station House officers concerned to book bindover cases on rowdy-sheeters and troublemakers in panchayat elections.
He visited sensitive villages including Kanugulavalasa, Korlakota of Amadalavalasa mandal, Narasannapeta and Polaki mandal headquarters to study the ground-level situation. He suggested Circle Inspectors and Sub-Inspectors to ensure free and fair election and take stern action against people who would violate law and order.
