Cops crack down on function halls

Khammam: The Deputy Superintendent of Police, Khammam K Suresh Kumar warned of laying siege to function halls running without permissions and necessary facilities.

Speaking at a meeting held with the owners of functions halls under Khammam urban and rural limits on Wednesday, the DSP suggested the owners take necessary permission from the officials concerned and make arrangements to provide facilities required to run the function halls without causing any inconvenience to the people living in surrounding areas.

He also directed them to install CCTV cameras in every function hall along with providing separate place for parking without encroaching roads or government lands.

If any vehicles were found parking on either side of the road in front of any function hall, the vehicles would be seized without giving any intimation, he warned, adding that wastes from the function halls must be shifted to dumping yard without discarding it in surroundings.

He also warned the owners of the function halls not to give permissions to organisers to conduct the functions more than the capacity of the hall. He directed the officials of revenue, police and municipal departments to keep a notice board in front of the function halls which do not have permissions and mentioned facilities to organise the functions.

Khammam Municipal Commissioner Srinivas, Tahsildar K Srilatha, Town Planning Officer M A Rahman, Khammam Rural and Urban I, II and III town police officials Ch Raji Reddy, Venkatanarsaiah, Nagendra Chary, Thirupathi Reddy and Traffic police official P Naresh Reddy were present along with others.
