Security cover for 180 leaders taken off
HYDERABAD: In a major revamp of security, as many as 180 politicians, including ex-MLAs and ex-MPs of both states, were stripped off their State-provided security cover in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
Thirty eight persons have been considered for scaled-down security while around 300 others have retained their earlier sanctioned security. The notices are being issued to the Commissioners of Police and Superintendents of Police.
Mahesh Muralidhar Bhagwat, Inspector General, Security, Intelligence, Telangana, said with the decision, more than 500 armed personnel will rejoin their respective wings.
