Speaking after inaugurating an apartment complex constructed for policemen at a cost of Rs. 3 crores at Allipuram on Wednesday, Mr. Sukumara, while underlining the need for community policing, said that sangham members could help contain eve-teasing and even regulate traffic.

The complex was built by the AP Police Housing Corporation.

He complimented Maitri Sangham members for foiling a robbery bid at Chipurapalle in Vizianagaram district on Monday last.

Expressing concern over the rise in crime rate in Visakhapatnam and other cities, he said efforts were being made to control it.

Mr. Sukumara also awarded commendation certificates to police personnel in the city for their `good work' in investigating recent crime cases.

Those who received the certificates were V. Rajendranath, K. Kumar (Inspectors), S. Sasibhusana Rao, G. Durga Prasad, D. Sanjeeva Rao (SIs), D. Suribabu, D. Srinivasa Raju, N. Tatabbai, J.
