Telangana’s acting DGP B. Shivadhar Reddy (IPS:1994:TG) finally bid goodbye to his 32-year-long illustrious policing career on Thursday. He was accorded a warm farewell parade at the Sudarshana Ceremonial Parade Ground at the RBVRR Telangana Police Academy on this occasion.
Reddy made way to the senior-most IPS officer in the state, CV Anand (IPS:1991:TG), to take over as the new chief of the state police force.
Shivadhar Reddy fondly reflected on his long policing career and described it as a journey filled with challenges, joy, and valuable experiences. He said that the police department had undergone significant modernisation while drawing a parallel with the working conditions in the 1970s and 1980s, which he said were vastly different from those of today.
Reddy stressed the importance of people-friendly policing in line with government policy, which he said the Telangana Police had already adopted.
He urged younger officers to uphold the reputation of the police department and stated that true police power lay in serving with dignity and earning public respect.
The outgoing DGP did not forget to thank Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy for appointing him as DGP. Reddy described the role given to him as one of the most significant responsibilities of his career.
