Goal is to make Hyderabad a ‘Safe City’ : City Police Commissioner Mahesh Bhagwat

Senior IPS officer Mahesh Muralidhar Bhagwat has assumed charge as the Hyderabad City Police Commissioner. Speaking on the occasion, he stated that top priority would be given to maintaining law and order, women’s safety, and curbing cybercrimes, with a major focus on transforming Hyderabad into a ‘Safe City’.

He took charge as CP on Friday at the Telangana Integrated Command and Control Centre (TGICCC) in Banjara Hills. Addressing the media later, he said a special plan would be formulated to curb organised crime gangs, group clashes, and retaliatory attacks. He mentioned that he would first hold meetings with DCPs and ACPs, and subsequently visit all police stations. Specifically, to prevent crimes during evening and night hours, he said he would direct personnel not to remain confined to police stations, but to come out onto the roads and conduct patrolling. He added that the implementation of night patrolling would be reviewed the very next day.
