The police traced around 8,396 missing girls and women under ‘Operation Trace’ in the State over the last two years, Home Minister Vangalapudi Anitha said. Briefing the media at the Secretariat on Tuesday (June 16, 2026), the Minister listed the work of the Police Department.
“Police have stepped up security for the public, especially for women, using drones and surveillance cameras. Through the ‘Sakthi App,’ the police are conducting awareness campaigns for women on laws meant for their protection,” Ms. Anitha said. “In the last two years, 591 individuals were convicted in various cases.
Investigations in critical cases have been expedited, and justice has been rendered to the victims,” the Home Minister said. Under ‘Operation Chinnari Talli’, counselling was provided to more than 2,000 victims, and about 5,600 eve-teasers were booked, she said.
The Minister said the police were taking measures to bring down the crime rate, especially crimes against women and children in the State.
