Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Tuesday urged police officials to make efforts to check drug supply in the state just like soldiers perform their duties at the country's borders.

According to an official release, Reddy, who held a meeting with police officers of the rank of Inspector and above, praised the state and city police for their work.

He said the Union Home Ministry and police of other states seek inputs from state police officers regarding investigation of bomb blasts and other cases.

He said the police should focus less on keeping an eye on the political system and focus on preventing crime, the release said.

He said there was no need to provide additional security to public representatives and proper security should be provided to a leader.

Revanth Reddy said, there is no need to give much importance to security for anyone including him.

He said that 'Police Schools' like Sainik Schools would be set up for the benefit of children of police personnel.

Highlighting that Hyderabad represents the brand image of Telangana, he said the state would suffer if crimes were not curbed in the state capital.

He urged the policemen to protect the brand image of Hyderabad.
