Police dept will be strengthened: Naini

Zaheerabad: Development of Telangana could be achieved if the police department was strengthened, Home Minister Naini Narasimha Reddy has said.

Talking to newsmen at the R&B Guest House here on Friday, the home minister said that the policing would be systematised to make their services available immediately whenever a crime took place. “State-art-of-the-art special vehicles with modern equipment would be provided to the police in this regard,” he added. Referring to the power shortage in the state of Telangana, he held the erstwhile TDP and Congress rule for the plight. Expressing regret over the lathi charge against the farmers who were demanding power supply, he said that the police should not do like that.

Stating that the power would be purchased from neighbouring States, he said that there was delay in securing power supply as there were no power lines. He assured the farmers that the power would be supplied soon. He said that efforts were being made to extend welfare measures to all the eligible people of Telangana. The home minister said that three acres of land would be distributed to Dalits on the Independence Day.

Reiterating that the TRS would strive to achieve Bangaru Telangana, the home minister said that it would be a reality soon. TRS leader Manik Rao, municipal chairperson Lavanya Chandu, councilors Nama Ravikiran, Motiram, Muralikrishna Goud, TRS town unit president MD Yakub and other leaders were present.
