Bid to reform rowdy sheeters

Will remove history sheets on those leading normal life, says Kurnool SP

Anantapur: The massive counselling drive taken up by the district police to reform the rowdy sheeters proves effective in curbing antisocial elements and factionists at all parts of Kurnool district.

Kurnool district Superintendent of Police Ake Ravi Krishna launched a novel initiative of conducting counselling for rowdy sheeters and faction leaders, at their homes, keeping in view their past criminal history. The police personnel will also interact with the family members of the persons with history sheets. In order to get a detailed report on the activities of rowdy-sheeters, the SP had launched the drive in all across the district.

In an attempt to maintain law and order in all parts, including hypersensitive villages those connected with faction rivalry, the SP has concentrated to check criminal activities. As part of the counselling, the station house officers are directed to submit a detailed report on the activities of rowdy sheeters.

“The purpose of these visits is to enquire about the behaviour of the ‘active’ elements. The SHOs are directed to list out persons who have been active in recent months and are keeping a tab on their movement. We will seek information about their movements, behavioural patterns with the neighbours and the persons with whom they are associated,” Mr Ravi Krishna said and added that they would curb crime rate at all levels.

The police officials of all divisions in the district have also been entrusted to monitor counselling process at all mandals of their jurisdictions. Nearly thousand persons with history sheets relating to factionism and other criminal activities have been asked to attend the counselling programme at the police stations.

The SP said that more than 90 per cent of rowdy sheeters and anti-social elements attended the counselling programme in the last two days. “We’ll complete the process in another two days,” Mr Ravi Krishna said and added that those leading normal life would be removed from rowdy sheets.
