With a lot of scenic views, tourism locations spread around, the city has been experiencing a major growth in tourist footfall day by day. Keeping this in view, DGP RP Thakur has asked the city’s Police department to send a proposal about tourist police station to the State Government.
The DGP said, ” We were asked to send a report mentioning about the need for tourist police station in Vizag. The proposal will be tabled before the State government and then we would wait for its nod.”
In any case of eve-teasing, thefts, robberies, attacks and misbehaviors, the tourists can visit the exclusive police station. One can also report about drowning if spotted at any location.
