Police to continue vigil in sensitive areas in Kozhikode

Move in the wake of stray incidents of violence after elections

In the wake of isolated post-poll violence and political stand-off in some northern Kerala districts, the high-security, 24x7 surveillance measures taken by the police on the Election Day will be continued as such in all the politically sensitive areas in Kozhikode district. The provisionally created police sub-divisions for election vigil under the supervision of Assistant Commissioners and Deputy Superintendents of Police will also maintain status quo. Considering the stray incidents of street scuffles in rural areas, all local patrol squads have been asked to intensify the frequency of their day-and-night rounds within Nadapuram, Kuttiyadi, Vadakara, Valayam, Edachery and Chombal police station limits. Vehicle checking will be intensified with the support of highway squads.
