In a G.O.No. 198 issued on October 5, Principal Secretary to the government Kumar Vishwajeet said; “The permission has been accorded to the DGP for the establishment of Rajamahendravaram Police Commissionerate, headed by a Commissioner of Police in the rank of Inspector General of Police/Deputy IGP with executive magistrate powers”.
Headquartered at Rajamahendravaram, the Commissionerate will consist of three territorial zones, with jurisdiction coterminous with the existing East Godavari revenue district and East Godavari Police District, stated Mr. Kumar Viswajeet.
