He said that research or mapping about timing of crime incidents has been conducted during the last week following directions of newly appointed SSP Bugvi. “Effective steps are being taken to control crime,” he said. The SSP, he said, has directed to also set up mobile police pickets or halting points in various areas of the city and maintain high vigilance and effective checking.
