Operation Rope focuses on public walkway safety
Police teams removed illegal extensions and barriers from footpaths in BK Guda, SR Nagar, and Ameerpet.

As a result, several obstructions were dismantled, and owners were cautioned not to repeat such violations.
Speaking at the site, Additional DCP Venugopal Reddy said the department would not tolerate any encroachment that troubles the public. Therefore, he urged citizens to follow traffic rules and act responsibly toward pedestrians.
Strict enforcement to reduce traffic violations
Reddy reminded motorists to wear helmets at all times. Furthermore, he advised parents to stop minors from driving. Meanwhile, he told riders to avoid using wrong routes, since such actions often cause accidents.
He added that the police would continue strict enforcement across the city. Consequently, those who break traffic rules would face firm legal action. The Additional DCP emphasized that regular drives would continue to ensure road discipline and public safety.
