Alert on Andhra-Chhattisgarh border after Naxal attack

In view of Naxal violence in Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh police have sounded an alert on Andhra-Chhattisgarh border.

"We have already alerted our policemen on the border and movement of security forces have been increased," Khammam district superintendent of police P Harikumar said.

As Bhejji village, where a CRPF camp was attacked by Naxalites, is about 40-50 km away from Andhra border, we have taken all precautionary measures on Andhra-Chhattisgarh border besides keeping a watch on the movement of suspicious persons entering our state, the SP said.
