Today, under the leadership of DCP Charminar Kiran Khare IPS, a counselling session was conducted for individuals involved in illegal “mamool” collection from shopkeepers and street vendors in the Charminar area. The programme was attended by ACP Charminar Chandra Shekhar and SHO Charminar Ram Babu.
All identified persons were strictly warned to desist from any form of extortion or intimidation. Any violation will invite immediate legal action, including opening of rowdy sheets, registration of cases, arrest, and remand. This is a final warning.
Police also emphasized a reform approach, giving a final opportunity to change behaviour and adopt lawful means of livelihood.
Shopkeepers and vendors were instructed to maintain discipline by avoiding encroachments, preventing traffic obstruction, and ensuring a clean and orderly environment. Special focus was laid on preserving the image and smooth functioning of Charminar as a key tourist destination.
Charminar Police reiterated zero tolerance towards extortion and urged public cooperation in maintaining law and order.
