Warangal: The Warangal Police Commissioner, Sun Preet Singh, has announced a strict prohibition on the entry and movement of outsiders in election-bound areas during the ongoing municipal elections. The directive comes into effect immediately after the conclusion of campaign activities and is aimed at maintaining law and order as polling approaches.
Commissioner Singh stated that with the municipal elections underway across the Warangal Police Commissionerate, including towns and municipalities under its jurisdiction, no person who is not directly involved in the election process or not a resident of the area should remain in or enter the election zones beyond the specified campaign deadline. Police have made it clear that after evening, once campaign activities officially end, entry by external political workers, supporters, or unrelated individuals will be strictly restricted.
He warned that anyone found loitering or entering the municipal limits in violation of this order could face action under electoral and public order laws. The Commissioner appealed to political parties, supporters, and the general public to cooperate with police to ensure peaceful, free and fair municipal elections.
The ban forms part of broader security arrangements for the municipal polls, which are scheduled to be held in Telangana on February 11. Police forces in the region have been tasked with ensuring that the election process is conducted smoothly without disruption or influence from non-local actors. [Dastoor News]
