Telangana DGP Targets Gangs and Drug Rings
In a decisive move to restore public safety, Telangana Director General of Police DGP Dr. Jitender has ordered an aggressive crackdown on organized criminal gangs and drug trafficking networks across the state.
The directive comes amid rising concerns over gang-related violence and the growing influence of narcotics in urban and semi-urban pockets. The DGP emphasized that no corner of Telangana will be left unchecked, and that law enforcement will act swiftly and decisively.
Special task forces have been mobilized to identify hotspots, track repeat offenders, and dismantle supply chains linked to drug distribution. Intelligence units are working in tandem with local police to gather actionable data and monitor suspicious movements.
The DGP’s order includes increased surveillance in educational institutions, bus stations, and nightlife zones—areas often targeted by drug peddlers. Police teams have been instructed to conduct surprise raids and strengthen community policing efforts.
In Hyderabad, Cyberabad, and Warangal, joint operations have already begun, with several suspects taken into custody. Authorities are also focusing on digital trails, using cybercrime units to trace online transactions and encrypted communications linked to drug deals.
The crackdown is not limited to street-level offenders. The DGP has made it clear that kingpins, financiers, and facilitators will be pursued with equal intensity. Legal teams are preparing watertight cases to ensure convictions and long-term deterrence.
Public cooperation is being sought through helplines and anonymous tip-off channels. Citizens are encouraged to report suspicious activity without fear of retaliation. The police have assured full confidentiality and swift response.
This renewed push against criminal gangs and drug networks is part of a broader strategy to make Telangana safer and more resilient. The DGP’s leadership signals a zero-tolerance approach and a commitment to long-term reform.
Officials are also working with rehabilitation centers to offer support for addicts and prevent relapse. The goal is not just enforcement, but also healing and reintegration.
As the crackdown intensifies, Telangana’s law enforcement agencies are calling this a turning point in the fight against organized crime. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining the success of this mission.
