As the Dasara festival approaches, the Cyberabad and Hyderabad police have issued important safety advisories to ensure the public's safety during the holiday season.
Preventing Thefts and Burglaries
The advisories are aimed at preventing thefts and burglaries, which often increase when families leave their homes to visit their native places. The police have advised people to store valuables such as gold, silver, jewellery, and cash in bank lockers or hide them in safe places to avoid thefts.
Key Safety Tips
Key safety tips include keeping homes well-secured, informing neighbors or local police about their absence, and avoiding posting travel plans on social media to prevent potential burglars from getting informed. Additionally, the police have suggested that families should keep their homes lit to give the impression of occupancy.
The police have also emphasized the importance of keeping emergency contact numbers handy and staying in touch with family members and neighbors to ensure mutual safety and vigilance.
Community Involvement
The advisories encourage community involvement, urging residents to report any suspicious activities to the local police. This collaborative approach is expected to enhance overall safety and security during the festive period.
