Telangana police modernization drive

Overview

In early July 2026 the Rajendranagar Zone Police expanded its cyber‑crime awareness programme, training 520 participants on scams, phishing, fake investment schemes and UPI fraud, and urging victims to call the National Cyber Crime Helpline within the “golden hour”. Deputy Commissioner S. Sreenivas and DGP C. V. Anand also stressed fuller use of CCTNS, e‑Sakshya, the Lathi App and the planned integration of the 112 emergency response system with drones.

Anand announced a drug‑free‑by‑2029 target, treating traffickers as a security threat and ordering faster charge‑sheet filing, higher conviction rates and digital evidence uploads to CCTNS. He called for AI‑driven investigations to curb narcotics, cybercrime and road‑safety offences, and highlighted intensified operations against cannabis cultivation in border districts.

On 16 July a Traffic Management and Road Safety Bureau was approved, with a draft framework for anti‑drug and safety committees in schools and colleges, each to appoint a campus safety coordinator and run mandatory awareness and counselling programmes.

A 20 July review of the Police Welfare Society and the Arogya Bhadratha health scheme flagged misuse, leading to a digital beneficiary‑tracking platform, expanded low‑interest loans, and increased scholarships and insurance for families of fallen officers.

A 24 July video conference directed officers to improve Telangana’s cyber‑security KPIs, noting current rankings (13th in e‑Zero FIR, 15th in cyber‑security, 18th in money restoration) and ordering full rollout of the e‑Zero FIR system.

On 5 August Anand reported progress on the Young India Police School and launched a pilot of AI‑enabled drones linked to the Dial 112 system to provide aerial intelligence for emergencies across four commissionerates, marking a further step in the state’s technology‑driven policing agenda.
