AP Withdraws Its Police After Governor Advice!

AP Withdraws Its Police After Governor Advice!

Andhra Pradesh government recalled its police forces deployed in Hyderabad on Tuesday consequent to the advice by Governor ESL Narasimhan to avert a possible law and order crisis.

The AP Government deployed its own police and security personnel fearing a threat perception to TDP leaders and Andhra settlers in the joint capital.

The move triggered off resentment and protests from the Telangana State Police as it argued that it was its responsibility to provide security to all concerned and the police force from the other state have no jurisdiction here.

On Wednesday, the Governor called both the DGPs of Telangana and AP to Raj Bhavan and asked them not to create a Constitutional crisis. He advised AP Director-General of Police J V Ramudu to withdraw the forces. 

Accordingly, the DGP recalled as many as 400 AP police personnel deployed in the state capital and the same was conveyed to the Governor this morning. However the AP State had asked some police personnel of its force to remain in stand by.

The Governor stressed the need for joint efforts to defuse breach of law and order in the joint capital. He wanted setting up of a two-member panel of IAS Officers to resolve amicably any issues cropping up between the police forces of the two States.
