Caste-based violence and discrimination continue to affect many parts of Andhra Pradesh. In response to growing incidents of atrocities committed against marginalized communities, the Andhra Pradesh Police have intensified efforts to combat caste-based violence. These include quick-response teams, extensive investigations into caste-related violence, and the implementation of stricter legal action under the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act.
The police also work closely with social organizations to raise awareness about caste discrimination, offering protection and support to victims. In addition to prosecuting offenders, the police are committed to preventing caste-based violence through education, awareness campaigns, and community-building initiatives. By targeting both the perpetrators and the root causes of caste violence, the Andhra Pradesh Police aim to create a safer and more equitable environment for all citizens.
