Hyderabad sources have reported that the ongoing Sakala Nerastula Samagra Survey has met with objections from unexpected quarters. Meanwhile the geo-tagging of residences under the criminals’ survey has the public bear the brunt. Moreover the survey, started with much fanfare, has not touched politicians who are involved in various cases. So, it has failed to generate any political heat in the state.
According to sources the survey claimed its first victim in 23 year old degree student Vemula Prashanth Goud from Nalgonda district who committed suicide on January 19. He was arrested nine years ago in a bike theft case and the court had acquitted him and the survey which was started in January 18, instilled fear in him and he ended his life.
Meanwhile, petty offenders, thieves and rowdy-sheeters are playing truant
and the survey team is finding it difficult to spot them. Furthermore going by
the current strength, the state police is not in a position to conduct a mega
state wide data collection campaign effectively. The official added “It will
take at least four days more to get a clear picture on the number of offenders
surveyed".
