Mangaluru, Jul 14: The police department in Dakshina Kannada has undergone another minor surgery in the wake of continued communal tensions in the district.
On July 13, As many as 20 probationary police sub-inspectors from Bengaluru were deputed to Western Range that comprises Dakshina Kannada, Uttara Kannada, Udupi and Chikkamagaluru district units.
This follows reports that claimed that some policemen have allegedly become too cozy with the organizations indirectly responsible for fomenting trouble in the district.
The overhaul was ordered by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah during a meeting with police top brass in Bengaluru recently. He ordered shifting of all police personnel, including constables, who have been at the same station or circle for more than three years.
Bantwal has seen three senior officers being shifted. On Thursday, IPS officer Arun K took charge as assistant SP, Bantwal Division, and Brijesh Mathew was appointed circle inspector. Vishnuvardhana, additional SP of Udupi, has shifted in the same capacity to Dakshina Kannada.
The surgery of the police department had begun on June 21, when the State government replaced Bhushan Gulabrao Borase with Sudheer Kumar Reddy as the new SP of Dakshina Kannada.
