Telangana DGP C.V. Anand has directed police officials to intensify efforts against cybercrime, narcotics smuggling, and food adulteration in the Bhupalpally and Mulugu districts. The review also addressed the need for better road safety measures and improved infrastructure for police personnel.
Why it matters
The directive highlights the evolving challenges of law enforcement in rural districts as they face modern threats like online fraud and organized drug trafficking.
Telangana Director General of Police C.V. Anand reviewed policing in Jayashankar Bhupalpally and Mulugu districts and directed officers to step up efforts against cybercrime, marijuana smuggling, road accidents and food adulteration.
During the review meeting, Mr. Anand said cybercrime was increasingly spreading beyond metropolitan centres to smaller towns and rural areas. Even educated and financially aware people were falling victim to sophisticated online frauds, he said.
Several retired employees lost their retirement savings after being lured into fake online investment schemes promising unusually high returns, he said, stressing the need for stronger cyber crime awareness campaigns and investigations aimed at identifying fraud networks.
The DGP also identified Bhupalpally and Mulugu as sensitive districts from the perspective of marijuana transportation and illegal trade. He directed the police to intensify surveillance on organised networks transporting narcotics from neighbouring states and take stringent legal action against those involved.
