The Hyderabad, Malkajgiri, Nizamabad and Karimnagar Police Commissionerates have been directed to improve their performance in implementing the new criminal laws, according to Telangana Director General of Police C. V. Anand. He highlighted deficiencies in investigation standards, case disposal and the adoption of technology‑driven policing.
At a review meeting held at the Crime Investigation Department office in Hyderabad on Thursday, October 8, the DGP examined the performance of police units that lagged in the state rankings and called for corrective measures to raise Telangana’s standing in the national assessment of the new criminal laws. The state currently scores 60.15, and the DGP said that improving individual units’ performance is essential to boosting the overall ranking.
Mulugu district emerged as the top‑performing unit, followed by Jayashankar Bhupalpally and Ramagundam Police Commissionerate. Their success was measured by the use of e‑Sakshya, completion of investigations within the prescribed 60‑ and 90‑day periods and the registration of Zero FIRs. Units identified as lagging included Mahabubnagar, Government Railway Police (GRP) Secunderabad and Yadadri‑Bhuvanagiri.
The DGP instructed officers to strengthen the implementation of Zero FIR, time‑bound investigations, online charge sheets, e‑Sakshya, e‑Summons, Nyaya Shruti and the Interoperable Criminal Justice System (ICJS). He noted that the national assessment weighs operational efficiency at 45%, ICT application at 25%, administrative reforms at 20% and integration at 10%. Referring to the EAGLE Force and the Telangana Cyber Security Bureau, he said periodic reviews and corrective measures had earned them national recognition and should be replicated across other units. He urged greater use of crime data from the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS) to identify patterns and formulate preventive strategies, with a focus on cybercrime, NDPS cases and habitual offenders.
CID Director Charu Sinha, Hyderabad Police Commissioner V. C. Sajjanar, Cyberabad Police Commissioner M. Ramesh Reddy, Multi‑Zone I Inspector General Chandrashekar Reddy, CID DIG Parimala Hana Nutan and other senior officers from the concerned units attended the meeting.
