Amaravati, November 21, 2025: Authorities have tightened security at Rajamahendravaram Central Prison following the transfer of 42 Maoist detainees, including senior cadres, from Chhattisgarh and Telangana jails.
Additional police contingents, armed reserves, and drone monitoring have been deployed to prevent any untoward incidents, with intelligence inputs warning of potential rescue attempts by underground networks.
The inmates, convicted or under trial in Naxal cases, were shifted for court hearings and safety reasons amid rising Maoist activity in border areas.
Prison officials confirmed enhanced patrolling and restricted visitor access, while local administration coordinated with central agencies for real-time alerts. The move reflects ongoing efforts to manage high-risk prisoners securely.
