Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Mr. Vijaykumar said that since the information provided by the citizens of the coastal hamlets was vital for maintaining law and order in the State, the police had taken certain measures to revamp the committees. The committees, which were formed to track suspicious movement of people and vessels, would be strengthened and the police would interact constantly with the coastal community. “Participation vital”“Participation of the local community in this effort is vital since they (villagers) know any development in their area. We (the police force) can get useful information from them,” Mr. Vijaykumar said.

We suffered a lot in the process of putting an end to that menace”. At the meeting held with the top police officials of the three districts, Mr. Vijaykumar, while reviewing the crime incidents, the progress made in the investigations, prevention and prosecution of crimes, asked them to be on high alert considering the sensitive nature of these three districts.
