Andhra Pradesh: Puja Performed At Police Station To 'Ward Off Crime'
The personnel on the station have been anxious for a while after they may not carry out the ¡®Ayudha Puja¡¯ final 12 months.
The policemen of Allagada town in the Kurnool district are extremely concerned about the rise in crime rates and ominous activities within the city and nearby areas.
So, to ward off evil in the city, the policemen of this town organised a ¡®peace prayer¡¯ at the town police station. The policemen of the city and nearby places conduct Ayudha Pujas for peace and hassle-free work which is basically prayers for their weapons and arms. However, they didn't perform the same in the past 12 months and felt that was the reason for all the mishaps taking place in their town.

The snake-biting incident has not only been keeping the officers on their toes but had made them fearful of entering their station at Allagadda. So, on the advice of acquaintances, a well-known priest was called to the station and blessed the arms and weapons of every police official serving at the premises by chanting mantras to prevail in peace.
