Police to create special cell for non-resident Telugus
Director General of Police RP Thakur is likely to make an announcement on Wednesday about the formation of a special cell to cater to the needs and to redress the grievances of the nonresident Telugu people who are currently residing in about 150 countries He is likely to disclose the methodology, structure, mechanism and issues to be addressed on the day
Vijayawada: Director General of Police RP Thakur is likely to make an announcement on Wednesday about the formation of a special cell to cater to the needs and to redress the grievances of the non-resident Telugu people who are currently residing in about 150 countries. He is likely to disclose the methodology, structure, mechanism and issues to be addressed on the day.
It is estimated that more than 25 lakh Telugu people are living in about 150 countries across the world. These Telugus have little time to stay back in India in case they face any problem either monetary or otherwise. In order to redress their grievances, the AP police are contemplating to start a special cell, which would be announced by DGP RP Thakur on Wednesday.
For various reasons, the present mechanism of law enforcement is not designed to address the specific difficulties encountered by the non-resident Telugu people. The DGP, who has been closely working with the AP Non-Resident Telugus Society, has proposed to streamline the procedure to redress their grievances.
``Majority of the issues NRTs must deal with are quite unique. Even though the crimes are similar, their ability to deal with those issues within the existing police infrastructure has been quite cumbersome due to their absence from the country and time zone differences.
The whole NRT community of 25 lakhs across more than 150 counties will be thankful to the DGP and ADG of CID for their understanding and well thought of intervention,” said Dr Ravi Vemuru, president of the APNRT and the Advisor to Government of Andhra Pradesh.
In addition, the State government is also contemplating to set up AP investment safety and security cell to create safe environment for investment by NRIs and foreign domestic investors which could act as a growth engine for the sunrise state, Dr Ravi added.
APNRT Society is an organisation formed by the Government of Andhra Pradesh to provide various services to Non-Resident Telugus outside India. It currently has 88,000 members in more than 150 countries and 450 voluntary coordinators in 37 countries.
