Overview
- At a Tuesday valedictory in Hyderabad, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy told newly appointed deputy superintendents of police to preserve integrity, remember their social roots, and avoid abusing office as recent Anti-Corruption Bureau actions increase scrutiny.
- The state says it completed a long-delayed Group‑I recruitment with 563 posts notified, 562 candidates joining and 112 DSPs appointed, a process the government says was made transparent through TGPSC reforms.
- Telangana reconstituted the Telangana Public Service Commission by appointing retired DGP Mahender Reddy and IAS officer B. Venkatesam and defended the recruitment in court, citing a Supreme Court ruling that upheld the process.
- The government has set up specialized units, including the EAGLE Force for drugs and dedicated wings for cybercrime, food safety and traffic, and plans to let DSPs choose domain roles based on training.
- Officials offered expanded training and the option of foreign study tours to modernize investigations and policing methods, a move aimed at restoring public trust, improving law enforcement outcomes and protecting the state’s investment climate; the last Group‑I hiring had been in 2011.
