Quest for a new name for khaki hub

Crowdsourcing to name the new police control centre

City police commissioner C.V. Anand has sought suggestions from netizens on the name that should be given to the police command and control centre coming up at Banjara Hills in the city.

Mr. Anand, at the same time, wondered why the state-of-the-art building was being called twin towers. “Actually, it has four towers and this is a misnomer,” he said, asking netizens for some innovative suggestions on “what to name it”.

Within five hours of posting the request on the official Facebook account of city police, as many as 1,500 people sent their likes and 1,100 of them suggested names. Some of the names included Federal Towers of Telangana State, Charminar Protection Centre, C 4 and Four Lions. By all means, the name is likely to be finalised before March 31 as Mr. Anand has already asked the contractor to complete the works by then and keep it ready for inauguration at the hands of the Chief Minister.
