The Cyberabad police have issued a safety advisory urging residents to secure their homes before leaving for Navaratri festivities across Telangana.
The Cyberabad division of the Telangana police released a public advisory on Monday, reminding residents to lock doors, windows and activate alarm systems before departing for Navaratri celebrations. The notice highlighted the increased risk of burglary and unauthorized entry when homes are left unattended for extended periods.
Police officials said they have stepped up patrols in residential neighborhoods and will conduct random checks to ensure compliance with basic security protocols. They also urged citizens to inform neighbours or local community groups about their travel plans, enabling a coordinated watch.
The advisory comes ahead of the nine-day Navaratri festival, during which many families travel to temples and relatives across the state. Authorities reassured the public that rapid response teams are on standby to address any reported incidents promptly.
Residents are encouraged to use digital tools such as mobile alerts and community apps to stay informed about any security concerns in their area. The police have provided a helpline number for immediate assistance and to report suspicious activity.
By emphasizing preventive measures, the Cyberabad police aim to minimise crime rates during the festive period and ensure a safe environment for both travelers and those remaining at home.
