“It is your responsibility to make South India safer and ensure it has the lowest crime rate by developing strong mechanisms for cross-border coordination between police headquarters,” Revanth said. Describing Telangana as a frontrunner in anti-narcotics measures, Saleem said, “We have a young ANTF, which is just a year old. He was speaking after inaugurating Southern Regional Police Coordination Committee (SRPCC) at Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC). During a closed-door session on terrorism, the post-Maoist situation and Gen Z protests, officers from southern states deliberated on the issues, with Telangana intelligence deputy inspector general of police (counter-intelligence) R Bhaskaran making a presentation. We received most of the assistance from Sandeep Shandilya in setting up the force.”
Earlier, during a discussion on best practices adopted by the respective states, Karnataka DGP MA Saleem appreciated the assistance extended by EAGLE director Sandeep Shandilya in helping Karnataka police set up Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF). Hyderabad: Chief minister A Revanth Reddy on Friday said Telangana was ready to share its technology with neighbouring states for improving policing, while stressing the need for strong cross-border coordination to make South India safer.
Sharing Karnataka’s experiences, Saleem explained how the state collected data from 1.91 crore households and recorded residents’ details to build profiles of the population.
This outreach helped us gather more information,” the Karnataka DGP said. “All the details of the people will be available to the respective police stations. This helped us identify vulnerable people, such as senior citizens and those living alone. Beat constables visit them and take appropriate measures to address their problems and improve their security. Going a step further, we made the contact details of concerned beat constables responsible for each area by sharing them with every household, enabling residents to reach out to them in case of any problem.
Nearly 40% of the traffic fines collected will be allocated to TG-TMARS,” Anand said.
