Telangana DGP meets CM KCR.

Anjani Kumar, who earlier held post of Director General (D.G), Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) assumed office as the new Director General of Police (DGP) of Telangana. After taking charge as the Telangana Director General of Police, Anjani Kumar paid a courtesy call to CM K Chandrashekar Rao at Pragathi Bhavan. He thanked Rao for his opportunity to serve as the DGP.

Many Senior Police officials congratulated Anjani Kumar on occasion. The 1990-batch IPS officer took charge at state police headquarters. Mahendar Reddy, who served as the head of state police force for 5 years, was given a farewell by his successor and other senior police officials.

Hailing from Bihar, Anjani Kumar began his career as a police officer in undivided AP in 1992 as ASP Jangaon in Warangal district. He held various positions in the police in AP and later in Telangana. The state government gave him full additional charge of the post of DGP (HoPF).

"It has given best dividends by attracting big investments, which has led to fast economic development of the state," DGP said.

"Police are seen widely as partners in economic development in Telangana. We have to take it to the next high level. Telangana is the engine of growth for the entire country – whether it is electricity, encouragement to farmers or safety for women, children and weaker sections or attracting all big companies from the globe. It also brings with it the challenges which come with rapid urbanization," Anjani Kumar added.
