Visakhapatnam: The city police began its biggest exercise of checking, hotels, lodges and guest houses to ensure anti-social elements do not disturb the peace during the three-day Mahanadu beginning from May 27. Similar exercise was conducted last year when Ministers and state heads, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, came here to participate in the International Fleet Review.

The city has several star hotels where the Ministers would be staying and standard lodges and guest houses where the MLAs from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana would be accommodated. Some delegates will also be accommodated in Kalayana Mandapams, schools and colleges.
“We launched checking all the hotels, guest houses and lodges to prevent any intrusion of anti-social elements who might harm the Minister, MLAs and other senior party functionaries,’’ said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Navin Gulati.
“We have appealed to the hotel and lodge owners to inform the police on the check-in details of strangers, so that close watch on the visitors to the hotel rooms and the incoming and outgoing phone calls. Even visitors photographs will also be taken before the check in,’’ the DCP added.
Similarly, the police will identify unclaimed and new vehicles entering the city. The owners of the parking lots have also been requested to pass on information to the police on vehicles that are unclaimed, abandoned or kept in parking places for a long time.
