Amaravati: About 4,000 police personnel are deputed in Amaravati in various schools are a worried lot. Although, they are accommodated at various places, but they are forced to walk down three 3 kms to Gurukul Residential School for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Along with it, 25 personnel have to share one small room, they have to perform double duty, with resting time of just 2 to 3 hours and frequent power cuts adding to their woes.
When The Hans India visited the accommodations provided for the police, the Gurukul Residential School, Palloti college, Venus High School and other places on Sunday, it received hordes of from complaints from constables since authorities concerned are ignoring their complaints.
The Gurukul Residential School hosts about 1,500 personnel from Prakasam, Kurnool, Nellore, forest and Karnataka police. The senior level officials, about 200 in number, are provided AC and best available accommodation. But the constables are given common accommodation, in which about 25 personnel were asked to share a 15x15 feet room with just two ceiling fans but are suffering frequent power cuts.
About 4,000 plus police personnel deputed in Amaravati are asked to come to Gurukul Residential School for breakfast, lunch and dinner. That means, they need to walk from the ghats which are about 3 km from the school. The police constables in Vijayawada are working in a single shift of the daily three shifts.
They were given 16 hours rest after eight hours of duty. But the constables at Amaravati are asked to do alternate shifts or ‘double shifts’ as they termed it. They need to attend duty for eight hours, take rest for eight hours and work for another eight hours in a day.
A constable from Nellore district explained, “I finished my duty by 7am and around 10am, I have to finish by daily chores like bathing, washing clothes and have my breakfast too. Since I need to return to duty at 1 pm sharp again, I have to finish my lunch walking all the way down to another Gurukul school. That means we are hardly getting two to three hours of rest between two shifts” he adds.
