Udupi Police Form 10 Anti-Rowdy Squads, Intensify Crackdown

Police in Udupi district have established ten anti‑rowdy squads as a heightened response to the surge in unlawful violence. The squads are expected to strengthen law enforcement’s reach and deter future incidents.

The decision comes after a series of violent episodes in local markets and student campuses, which have strained police resources. Senior officer D. K. Gowda said the squads will be trained in crowd control and swift neutralisation of organized rowdiness.

Local residents anticipate that the new formations will curb disorder and restore calm in neighbourhoods. The initiative signals an intensified crackdown on rowdy elements across the district. Source: Google News – Udupi.
