State police unbiased, ensuring smooth conduct of polls: DGP - Times of India

Vijayawada: Director general of police D Gautam Sawang said on Saturday that the police department took all measures to ensure peaceful conduct of local body elections. He said every complaint related to elections was being verified and cases were being registered. The DGP pointed out that only 43 untoward incidents were reported across the state during filing of nominations for MPTC and ZPTC polls and 14 incidents during the nomination process for municipalities, municipal corporations and urban panchayat polls. In all the cases, police took swift action and arrested the accused persons.
Sawang denied allegations that candidates from opposition parties were not allowed to file nominations. He said nominations for MPTCs had been filed in the ratio 1:5; ZPTCs, 1:7; and 1:5 ratio in urban local bodies. The numbers shows that candidates filed nominations without any problem at a majority of the places. He said it was not appropriate to build a narrative based on stray incidents.
The DGP was asked to give specific details of any incidents instead of making generalised allegations. He said the police are accountable if failed to take action even after giving complaints. The DGP appealed that the state police are working in a diligent manner to make sure the elections are held peacefully and to facilitate people to exercise their franchise. Sawang further observed that they are putting systems in place to watch social media as there have been a lot of misinformation and fake news is being circulated. He said those spreading fake news would be brought to book. The DGP said that the police department was prepared for smooth conduct of elections. Over 1lakh personnel will be deployed across the state that includes forces from Telangana, Karnataka and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF).
Senior officers will be deployed at regional and district levels as supervisors along with their respective district heads to monitor and coordinate the situation with officials concerned. The DGP appealed to the people to not believe or spread incorrect information on social media.
