Speaking at a meeting with senior officials of the police department, Rao directed them to take necessary measures for women safety.

“Act tough on the miscreants, especially the ones who create nuisance by drinking in public places and near wine shops. Seize such wine shops if they are found flouting the rules,” he said.

Rao instructed the police to identify problematic locations and increase security measures in those areas. He also asked officials of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) to impose penalties on owners of old and unmaintained buildings that have turned into hubs for anti-social elements.
