Police distribute TVs to villagers in AP

Warangal, Andhra Pradesh Jan 19 (UNI) In an effort to win over the hearts of the people of naxalite-hit interior villages, the district police administration distributed colour television and Direct To Home (DTH) systems free of cost to each of the 20 village committees.

At a function organised here yesterday, Superintendent of Police Soumya Mishra handed over the TV sets to the members of the village committees.

Almost all the villages were predominantly tribal ones that remained cut off from the mainstream of the society.

''People living in far off corners should know what is happening around them. How fast the world is changing and how the people are benefitting from the initiatives of individual efforts and Government schemes,'' the SP said.
