Hyderabad police counselled 1,022 youngsters during a week-long Operation Chabutra in the Charminar zone from August 15 to 20, Telangana Today reports. The youngsters were found roaming late at night in public places. Police warned them against unlawful activities and associations with anti-social elements, and registered e-petty cases where violations were found.

Separately, Siasat reports that Cyberabad SHE Teams carried out 109 decoy operations from August 15 to 21 and caught 18 people for alleged indecent acts in public places. Seventeen petty cases were booked and counselling was conducted. The teams also received 25 complaints, rescued two boys in two PITA cases and apprehended four accused. Police reunited 32 married couples through counselling centres, while 4,974 people attended awareness programmes on trafficking, harassment, cybercrime and other issues. Medical shop owners in Charminar were warned against facilitating late-night gatherings.
Both reports use official police activity figures and present counselling, preventive cases and awareness programmes as the main response. Telangana Today focuses on late-night youth gatherings and the warning to parents and medical shop owners, while Siasat gives wider space to SHE Teams actions, trafficking cases and family counselling. Neither report provides details on the identities of those booked, the legal outcomes of the cases or whether the operations will continue. The figures therefore show the scale of enforcement and outreach, but not their longer-term effect. The next numbers to watch are any repeat cases and further action against establishments accused of enabling gatherings.
