Telangana special police constables urged to refrain from protests by DGP to maintain discipline and professionalism in force.
As the constables of the Telangana special police joined the protests started by their wives on Saturday (October 26, 2024), the DGP of Telangana Jitender has issued a statement urging them to refrain from protests. The constables are demanding equal treatment with their counterparts in Armed Reserve and Civil Police.
The DGP emphasised that such actions could negatively impact the force’s image and discipline.
The DGP clarified that the current system of duties in the TGSP has been in place for decades and continues to be effective.
“The department acknowledges the unique challenges faced by TGSP personnel, including frequent deployments and demanding duties.
“To address these concerns, the department highlighted several measures implemented for the welfare of police personnel. TGSP personnel receive both regular and additional surrender leaves, a benefit not extended to other government departments. Telangana police officers enjoy some of the highest salaries and allowances in the country,” said the officer.
He also mentioned that the department has implemented various welfare schemes, such as Bhadratha and Arogya Bhadratha, to support the well-being of police personnel and their families.
The DGP urged TGSP personnel to raise their grievances through official channels, such as the ‘Darbar’ system, where they can directly interact with senior officers.

In , the grape capital of India and host of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela every 12 years, environmental concerns over a plan to cut 1,800 trees for the proposed Sadhugram project in the historic Tapovan area have sharpened political fault lines ahead of local body elections. The issue has pitted both Sena factions against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which leads the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra. While Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief, and Uddhav Thackeray, chief of the Shiv Sena (UBT), remain political rivals, their parties have found rare common ground in Tapovan, where authorities propose clearing trees across 34 acres to build Sadhugram and a MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) hub, as part of a ₹300-crore infrastructure push linked to the pilgrimage.
