Telangana Director General of Police (DGP) C.V. Anand on Tuesday called upon police personnel to return to the fundamentals of effective policing by focusing on integrity, visibility, impartiality and the use of technology to improve public service delivery. During his district tour of Khammam, the DGP reviewed policing, crime control measures, road safety initiatives and technology-driven policing systems. He conducted a comprehensive crime review meeting with senior police officials and assessed major crime trends, enforcement strategies and areas requiring improvement.
Emphasising the importance of public trust, Anand instructed police personnel to work strictly within the framework of law, ensure justice for poor and vulnerable sections, and avoid interfering in civil and land disputes. He directed officers to follow Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) while handling cases and ordered special action against sand mafia, soil mafia and rowdy elements. The DGP stressed the need for stronger night patrolling to prevent property offences and instructed officials to ensure accurate implementation of Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS) data management.
He also highlighted the importance of advanced policing platforms, including CCTNS 3.0, Hawk Eye 3.0 and TG COPS 3.0, for improving policing efficiency. During the visit, the DGP inaugurated a Road Safety Park, a CCTV Command Facility at the Commissionerate and 250 newly installed CCTV cameras connected to the command centre. He appreciated citizens who supported the installation of surveillance cameras in villages and urged people to responsibly inform police about drug abuse, especially among youth in villages and educational institutions.
As part of road safety efforts, police personnel conducted awareness programmes for students on traffic rules. Helmets were also distributed to police personnel and members of the public to promote safe riding practices. The DGP announced that a Traffic Management Bureau, on the lines of the EAGLE initiative, would soon be established to strengthen road safety measures.
