Don’t exploit your position for personal gain: CM Revanth to police

Hyderabad: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Tuesday warned police not to exploit their positions for personal gains. He also said that the state government was ready to send the newly recruited Deputy Superintendents of Police (DSPs) in the Police Department to the foreign countries on a study tour to upgrade their skills in the discharge of their duties.

Participating in the valedictory ceremony of the second batch of DSPs-2025 here on Tuesday, the Chief Minister said the Education Department was already sending government teachers abroad to study educational standards. On the same lines, the government would send newly appointed DSPs abroad for further study, if necessary. The Chief Minister stressed that the DSPs should give priority to their physical fitness along with performance in their duties. “I hope you never find yourself in a situation where you have to deal with difficult situations like ‘Garam, Naram and Besharam,’” he said.

Highlighting the steps taken to curb drug menace and cybercrime, he emphasized that the police officials should move friendly with the victims when they approached and speak with them compassionately to understand their problems. The Chief Minister warned the police not to exploit their positions for individual gains.

The police should listen to the issue and comprehend it before finding a solution. “It is your knowledge, integrity, and dedication that have brought you to where you are today,” he said.

The Chief minister urged the newly appointed DSPs not to forget the purpose of joining the police force.

The direction in which the future of Telangana will move over the next thirty years lies in the police hands.

Revanth Reddy underscored the need for the police to be first to react when people face a problem. “People trust the police force because the cops have dedicated everything to maintaining law and order.

The police force has earned its standing in society because many senior officers have worked with absolute integrity. You must uphold that legacy,” he added.

The Chief Minister slammed Opposition party for creating hurdles in the recruitment of the DSPs. Some forces deliberately leveled numerous allegations against these recruitments including crores of rupees corruption. The state government took the matter of the DSP appointments to the Supreme Court by engaging highly skilled legal counsel and successfully secured the appointments, he explained.

The Chief Minister held the previous BRS government responsible for not conducting Group 1 exams. The TGPSC had effectively turned into a hub for the 'political rehabilitation' of certain individuals during the BRS rule, the CM charged. The Congress government selected individuals with experience in conducting competitive examinations and those with integrity to serve as board members, he claimed.
