Security has been beefed up in checkposts and six police station limits in the areas of the district bordering Kerala and Karnataka following rumours about naxalite movement in Kerala.
Armed men from Rapid Action Force were deployed in areas under Nelakottai, Devala, Ambalamula, Cherampadi, Erumadi and New Hope police stations limits, coming under Masanagudi and extra alert sounded in Cherampadi and Kakkanalla checkposts, to prevent the possible infiltration of Naxals, police said today.
"Though there are no confirmed reports (about naxals), we have beefed up security," a senior police official said.
