Since the formation of Telangana state in June 2014, the crime rate has shown a downward trend, State Director General of Police Anurag Sharma said today.
“In 2014, the total cognisable crime was recorded at 1,01,280 and it was 1,00,447 cases in 2015, while till November this year 95,124 crime cases were reported,” Sharma told reporters here.
He said the activities of Left Wing Extremists in the state are under effective check due to firm police action.
“Their (Maoists) presence is very less…recruitment is also low. We will not allow them to make a comeback,” he said.
The Telangana State Committee of CPI (Maoist) is operating with three district committees having around 92 cadres, he said.
He further said that several youths, who got attracted towards the anti-national activities through social media, were counselled.
