A joint action plan was formulated to track and apprehend suspects, who commit crimes in one state and take shelter in the border districts of the neighbouring state. The two police forces also agreed to strengthen mutual cooperation, share intelligence, and conduct coordinated operations to enhance crime detection and prevention along the border. The meeting is crucial in view of the upcoming local body elections in Kerala, the police commissioner said.
