NTR Police Seek Public Help Against Drug Menace
Police in Vijayawada want people to help stop the illegal drug trade.
They are especially seeking information about ganja and other banned narcotic substances.
The police asked people to share facts instead of repeating rumours or labels.
Useful details could help identify users, sellers and places where drugs are sold.
Police will check the information before taking action.
People who provide information will have their identities kept secret.
The programme is being run through Khaki Studio.
Citizens can contact police by calling 112 or 1972.
NTR District Police Commissioner SV Rajasekhar Babu launched a public outreach programme through Khaki Studio.
The initiative seeks credible information about ganja use, possession and sale within the Police Commissionerate limits.
Three successive NTR Police Commissionerate Challenges urged citizens to provide specific, factual leads rather than rumours.
Police said information could help identify drug users, peddlers and locations where narcotics are sold.
Citizens can report information through Dial 112 or Dial 1972, with their identities kept confidential.
