Shares Experience on Conclusion of Budget Session

Mr.Anand shared his experience following the conclusion of the budget session of the Telangana Legislative Assembly, describing it as a particularly hectic period for the Home Department.

He noted that preparations began well in advance, with budget meetings held prior to the session from 16th March. During the discussion on grants to the Home Department, the concerned Secretary and other officers were required to be present inside the Assembly hall, where they listened to discussions and questions raised, and assisted ministers by providing brief notes, facts, and figures while the budget was being presented.

He further shared that several important bills, including the Hate Speech and Hate Crimes Bill and the Advocates Protection Bill, required extensive work. These involved preparation, discussions, presentation before the Cabinet, incorporation of suggestions, and subsequent introduction in the Assembly by the concerned minister. Officers were also required to remain present during debates and replies until the bills were passed.

Reflecting on his earlier roles, he mentioned having spent three years as DCP Central Zone handling bandobust and security arrangements during Assembly sessions between 2001–04, and later serving for over six years as Additional Commissioner of Police and Commissioner of Police, Hyderabad City. However, he described his current role as Special Chief Secretary, Home Department, as a completely different and enriching administrative experience. 

Anand Pays Tribute to Former DGP H.J. Dora

 "Attended the shraddhanjali programme of former DGP HJ Dora organised by family members and was very well attended by many retired DGPs and senior police officers and friends and family members. I had volunteered to speak and spoke in detail about his leadership qualities where he led the war against Maoists from the front amidst grave threat to his own life , his excellent communication skills with the lowest ranks of the force, his teamsmanship and welfare orientation , the inner dynamics of the famous AP model of tackling Maoism created by him and how as an ASP, Addl SP and SP Nizamabad for the first decade of my career, we all executed that strategy to rid the state of this menace.

Later in the CISF he saved the existence of the force itself by volunteering to take over the security of airports after the Kandahar hijacking episode . If you have the patience, please see the video "
