Revanth tells new DSPs integrity is paramount

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Tuesday, 10 November, advised newly recruited Deputy Superintendents of Police not to forget their roots or exploit their positions for personal gain. Speaking at the valediction ceremony of the second batch of DSPs-2025 in Hyderabad, he said conduct and decisions of police officers directly affect the government's performance and public image.

The CM cited the establishment of the EAGLE Force to tackle drug trafficking and said the government is ready to send new DSPs abroad for study tours if needed. He slammed the Opposition for alleging corruption in the recruitment process, noting that children of MGNREGS-dependent families had secured appointments as proof of transparency. The DGP, CV Anand, advised the 112 probationers to aim for specialisation in policing and to remain physically fit.

The batch, which includes some officers with PhDs, has completed 44 weeks of training with another 46 weeks remaining, the academy director informed the CM. The CM also accused the previous BRS government of turning the Telangana Public Service Commission into a hub for political rehabilitation.
