City police vigilant to curb crime at year-end

Jamshedpur: The East Singhbhum district administration has launched an intensive arms checking drive in the urban areas. Keeping the rising crime graph in the city and the oncoming year-end celebrations, this intensive arms and vehicle checking drive has been launched in the city.

Check points in different parts of the city have been activated and the car and bike drivers are being checked and frisked randomly.

Till now, the checking is limited to arms and weapons, but now, rash driving, drunken driving etc too would be controlled.

Anyone found guilty of drunken driving would be nabbed and punished, the officer-in-charge of Sakchi police station said.
