Home Minister Araga Jnanendra has warned of strict action against police staff who associate themselves with anti-social activities. He was speaking after laying the foundation stone for new buildings to be constructed for Chamrajpet and Chickpet traffic police stations on Thursday.

Responding to a question on the involvement of policemen in some criminal cases, Mr. Jnanendra said, “Our Government has zero tolerance towards such attitude. Because of a few black sheep, the entire force - which has a strength of more than one lakh - will get a bad name. Those who join hands with anti-social elements and are involved in criminal activities will be dealt with an iron hand,” he warned.
