GUNTUR: The Guntur District Security Wing (DSW) conducted a special mock drill, on Thursday, to assess and strengthen security protocols along the Seed Axis Road, a key route used by VVIPs and VIPs.
Tulluru Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Murali Krishna and DSW RI Suresh Kumar supervised the operation, which was closely monitored by Additional SP (AR) A Hanumanthu. Police teams carried out thorough inspections from Manthena Satyanarayana Raju Ashram to the N9 Junction, examining dividers, culverts, bridges, roadside shrubs, and drains with advanced security equipment and sniffer dogs.
