Udupi Police Form 10 Anti-Rowdy Squads to Tackle Criminal Elements

Udupi police have formed ten anti‑rowdy squads in a bid to counter growing incidents of communal violence and street crime. The new teams, equipped with additional resources and training, will patrol high‑risk areas and assist in rapid arrests of suspected rowdy members.

Rowdyism has been a persistent issue in Udupi, with several high‑profile clashes and vandalism cases reported in recent months. The measures come after multiple complaints from residents and law‑enforcement officials who cited challenges in monitoring dispersed gangs that control local markets and transportation hubs.

With the intensified action plan, authorities expect to cut down the frequency of street altercations and enhance public confidence in local policing. Source: Google News – Udupi.
