As many as 35 canines and 54 handlers, who completed training, walked out from the Canine Training Centre (CTC), located at APSP 6th Battalion, at Mangalagiri, in Guntur district on Tuesday.
Home Minister Taneti Vanitha, who attended the passing out parade of the canines and the dog handlers, said that canines play a key role in detecting and controlling crime, provide security to the VIPs and in checking terrorist activities.
Appreciating the CTC officials for imparting best training to the canines in just eight months, the Minister said that more dogs and handlers are needed to step up security in the State. The Mangalagiri Canine Training Centre topped among other centres in the country by imparting training to the canines in detecting red sanders and narcotics, Ms. Vanitha said.
