The Union Home Secretary, Shri Govind Mohan, IAS, along with a high-level team from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), visited Hyderabad today to review the implementation progress of several key national criminal justice reforms and internal security initiatives.
During the visit, Shri Govind Mohan held detailed discussions with senior police officers and civil administration officials from Telangana. The review focused on the rollout and status of the newly enacted criminal laws — Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam — replacing the Indian Penal Code (IPC), Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), and the Indian Evidence Act respectively. Additionally, the status of the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & Systems (CCTNS), forensic infrastructure, prosecution mechanisms, prison modernization, and enforcement action against narcotics, cybercrime, terrorism, and left-wing extremism were assessed.
Notably, this marks the first instance that a Union Home Secretary is personally touring all state headquarters to gather on-ground feedback directly from state-level law enforcement officials. This initiative has been widely welcomed as a significant confidence-building measure that ensures state police challenges are both heard and addressed at the highest levels.
As part of the visit, a detailed presentation was made on the Hyderabad Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) — a state-of-the-art, multi-agency hub for disaster management, emergency response (Dial 100/112), law and order monitoring, and traffic control. The facility also serves as the backbone for the city’s extensive CCTV network and real-time surveillance systems.
The presentation and the overall operational model of the ICCC were highly appreciated by the MHA delegation, with specific mention of its potential as a best-practice model for replication across the country.
