Hyderabad: CM KCR inaugurates Telangana Police Integrated Command and Control Centre
Hyderabad, August 04: Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao inaugurated the Telangana State Police Integrated Command and Control Centre at Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, on Thursday.
He was accompanied by Home Minister Mohd Mahmood Ali, Cinematography Minister T Srinivas Yadav, Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar, DGP Telangana M Mahendar Reddy and other officials.
The command and control centre was constructed at a cost of over 600 crores. The foundation of the building was laid in the year 2017.
The building has a two-story parking lot with a helipad on its roof. Tower A, which stands on the left side of the center, will house the Hyderabad police commissioner’s office as well as administrative divisions. The state-level surveillance, which has access to every camera in Telangana, will be in Tower B on the right. The She Teams, emergency response-related agencies, Hawk Eye assistance, and the traffic command center will also be housed in the tower.
The center, a first for the nation, will assist the police in connecting the operations of several units under one roof and function as a state-level multi-agency technological fusion center. In line with Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao’s vision, it will also serve as a platform for crisis management, disaster management, and other significant emergency situations, Hyderabad police commissioner C.V. Anand noted. He called the centre the “third eye” of the city police.
There will also be an emergency response management system to help people in distress. The CCC would house a war room and a center of excellence for operations monitoring and increasing staff capacity, he stated.
Representatives from various government departments with a public focus will be present at the centre to encourage effective interaction and cooperation between governmental organizations. Officials claim that the Telangana Police now use technology as one of their most important force multipliers in their fight against crime. They said that only Singapore and New York have facilities similar to this one, making it unique in the country.
“The tower has different chambers for DGP M. Mahendar Reddy, Home minister Mahmood Ali and other officials. There is also a war room on the seventh floor where meetings can be called. Even if the Chief Minister wants to review the flood situation, he can do it from here,” Anand said.
Tower C has a multi-agency room and an auditorium, while Tower D will house other departments and data centres.
Meanwhile, a police official stated that the offices of the traffic police and Central Zone DCP could be shifted to the existing police commissioner’s office in Basheerbagh.
