Participating in an interaction with media at the Press Club on January 12, Tuesday, the Police Commissioner while  referring to the recent   raids conducted on beaches in the city during evening time, said  the operation aimed at warning  anti-social elements and violators of rules while ensuring protection to those who adhere to the  law.

He said several measures have been initiated after he took charge including action against  using loud speakers inconveniencing public, drugs consumption and  alcohol consumption in beaches and public  places. While the measures have been appreciated by many there have also been some disgruntlement, he said adding there was resentment  from some corners when a parade of drug offenders was conducted recently.

While admitting that beach tourism was a major attraction of Mangaluru, the Commissioner said  spending time in beaches during night particularly in areas which are unlit  is not proper and added that the presence of women in such places is also a matter of security concern.

He also assured  measures to increase night patrolling in beaches. He further requested the public to call 112  in case of any problem.
