In a stirring address, Telangana's Chief Minister Revanth Reddy called on police officers to tackle drug supply with the same vigilance as soldiers defending the nation's borders. His remarks came during a meeting with senior police officials, where he lauded the state and city police for their exemplary work.

Reddy highlighted the frequent requests from the Union Home Ministry and other state police forces for Telangana's insights into critical investigations, including bomb blasts. He urged police to focus more on crime prevention rather than political surveillance and advocated for appropriate security for public representatives.

Further, the Chief Minister proposed the establishment of 'police schools' similar to Sainik schools, aimed at benefiting the children of police personnel. Stressing Hyderabad's vital role as Telangana's brand ambassador, he urged officers to protect the city's image by curbing crime effectively.
