Earlier in January, Visakhapatnam City Police inaugurated a new control room at Kali Mata Temple

, Beach Road. The control room had been set up as per the directions of Visakhapatnam City Police Commissioner Manish Kumar Sinha (IPS). The control room, which serves 24 hours a day by an all-women team, will be acting as a liaison to all police personnel on duty from Fishing Harbour to Bheemili. The control room also features equipment that can facilitate communication with any police station within the city limits.

It may be recalled that the Vizag police have also stepped up vigil at temples in the city. Security meetings were also organised with temple committees under several police station limits. Identifying that security arrangements need to be beefed up at temples located in the outskirts, the police appealed to the committees to install CCTV cameras as well as post security personnel.
