Cops’ gesture moves tribals

As part of community policing, police personnel help tribals undergo eye surgeries
Visakhapatnam: Twenty one tribals, including women, who underwent cataract surgeries at Sankar Foundation Hospital here on October 20, came to the District Rural Police office here on Sunday to thank Superintendent of Police Rahul Dev Sharma and higher-ups for their gesture in helping the poor tribals.
The rural police as part of their community service programme Darsini, organised a free medical eye camp in association with Sankar Foundation at Pedavalasa in the Agency on October 14 where over 200 people were screened under the supervision of Additional SP (Operations) Attada Babuji and local police personnel.
Of them, 21 were identified for surgeries and 10 for spectacles. The persons screened for surgeries were brought to Sankar Foundation Hospital on October 20, along with their family members, where the surgeries were carried out successfully. The other 10 persons were also given spectacles.
All these beneficiaries, along with the family members, in an interaction with the SP here on Sunday informed that they never expected that they would regain the sight due to poverty and they never forget the gesture shown by the hospital authorities and the police during the surgery.
SP Rahul Dev Sharma told them to tell the same thing to other people also who were in need of help and ask them to inform to the nearest police station so that the police will take care of them. “Though we are meant for maintaining law and order, we also have social obligation like community service and the police will always be in the forefront of helping the needy,” he told them.
The police are also taking up free coaching camp for educated unemployed tribal children in a big way at Paderu and Koyyuru, he added and thanked the doctors of Sankar Foundation for their help.
Additional SP (Operations) Attada Babuji, Inspectors Kiran Kumar, Venkata Rao and others were also present.
