With thousands of city residents leaving for their native places for Sankranti, police have intensified an awareness campaign to prevent house burglaries and property thefts.
Madhuranagar station house officer H. Prabhakar said the police had launched an outreach to sensitise the public within their jurisdiction, highlighting preventive measures through residential WhatsApp groups and pasting posters at prominent public places and apartment complexes.
“Residents are advised to inform their neighbours or the local police before leaving for their hometowns. We are also encouraging the installation of central locking systems and CCTV cameras to deter offenders, he said.
