Kerala DGP Loknath BeheraTHIRUVANANTHAPURAM: State police chief Loknath Behera has said the force will intensify checking at state borders and check-posts in the wake of cross-border movements the last few days.

The police also created as many as 412 videos lasting from 15 seconds to 19 minutes for creating awareness. Besides, hundreds of posters and thousands of troll-posts have been created for the purpose, the state police chief said.
The student police cadets have distributed at least 2.3 lakh food packets at 26 places across the state with the help of the civil society, Behera added. He also informed that the 10 police hospitals in the state will be modified for Covid-19 treatment.
