Telangana chief minister Revanth Reddy on Thursday, July 4, met Union Home Minister Amit Shah and requested him review the IPS cadre in the state, seeking more officers for the state. Revanth Reddy also highlighted the need for establishing security force camps in Adilabad, Mancherial, and Komaram Bheem Asifabad districts, to counter left-wing extremism. He also met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and sought fulfilment of
promises to Telangana under the State Reorganisation Act 2014, among other things.
Revanth Reddy told the Union Home Minister that these three districts of Telangana were previously impacted by left-wing extremism but later removed from the SRE (Security-Related Expenditure) scheme. He stressed the importance of focusing more on Telangana’s security, given its extensive border with neighbouring states.
