DGP CV Anand visited the EAGLE Force Headquarters at the Integrated Command and Control Centre (iCCC), Banjara Hills, to review the State’s anti-narcotics efforts and the functioning of the specialized unit.
During the review, EAGLE Director Sri Sandeep Shandilya made a detailed presentation spanning nearly three hours on various aspects of the force’s operations, including cases registered, enforcement actions undertaken, arrests made, narcotics seized, awareness campaigns conducted, and measures initiated to improve the quality of investigations. The presentation also highlighted certain operational challenges, including manpower shortages and other requirements for strengthening anti-drug enforcement efforts.
Following the review, DGP CV Anand observed that combating the narcotics menace requires greater involvement and sustained efforts from district SP s and CPs , while emphasizing the need for EAGLE to further strengthen coordination with field units across the State.
Mr. Anand stressed that educational institutions must also shoulder greater responsibility in addressing the problem of substance abuse among students. He observed that institutions should promptly report narcotics-related incidents to the police and other competent authorities and should not suppress such cases in the name of protecting the reputation or prestige of their institutions. He indicated that the Government is examining legal and policy measures to strengthen institutional accountability in this regard.
The DGP noted that the narcotics menace poses a serious threat to society and has the potential to damage the social fabric of the State if not addressed firmly and comprehensively. He reiterated that the fight against drugs remains one of the highest priorities of the Telangana Police and the State Government and assured full support for all initiatives aimed at preventing drug abuse, dismantling trafficking networks, and protecting the youth of the State.
