Hyderabad Police Issue Security Advisory for Festive Season
The police in Hyderabad have given some important tips to keep homes safe during the festive season.
They say that when people go away for holidays like Christmas, New Year, and Sankranti, their homes can be more at risk of theft.
The police advise people to tell them when they are going away and when they will return.
This way, the police can keep a closer watch on their homes.
They also suggest asking a trusted neighbor or friend to check on the house and report any suspicious activity.
