With polling for the Jubilee Hills Assembly by-election scheduled for November 11, Hyderabad Police and election authorities have put in place a tight, multi-layered security grid involving over 1,600 personnel to deter violence, prevent booth capturing and ensure smooth and fair polling.
According to Hyderabad City Police, the plan combines enhanced local deployment, special police
units, vehicle check-posts and support from central forces and Election Commission flying squads, along with administrative measures such as arms deposit orders for licence holders within the constituency.
Authorities said as many as 1,600 local police personnel would be deployed across the constituency and at polling stations, with additional patrolling and pickets in sensitive areas.
