Hyderabad: Hyderabad Police Commissioner C.V. Anand on Tuesday inspected the ongoing construction of the new Osmania hospital building at the Goshamahal police stadium grounds. The state government had chosen the site for the ambitious project, aiming to enhance medical infrastructure while making way for police-related facilities.

Speaking to reporters after the visit, Anand said that construction activities for the hospital building were in full swing. As part of the arrangements, various police blocks are being relocated to accommodate the works. The city’s horse ground and stables have been shifted to vacant space within the stadium compound, he explained.

“All departmental units have now been moved out and formally handed over to the health department,” Anand said. He noted that the government had earmarked 11.5 acres for the Hyderabad City Police within the same premises. Plans are underway to build two five-storey buildings one for the City Security Wing (CSW) and another to house seized vehicles from all seven police zones. Additionally, new horse stables and a parade ground are being readied, he said.

Anand revealed that the government had allocated another two acres beside the Traffic Training Institute (TTI). Thanks to the proactive efforts of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, Rs 55 crore had been sanctioned for the project. “We plan to complete construction through the Police Housing Corporation within a year,” the commissioner added.

Addressing challenges faced during protests and rallies in the city, Anand said that arresting women protesters had always been a delicate matter. To handle such situations with greater sensitivity, the Hyderabad police have formed a dedicated team of 35 newly recruited women constables called the “Swift Women Action Team”.

“These officers have been specially trained not just in crowd control but also in martial arts like karate to ensure the safe and secure handling of women during protests,” Anand explained. Plans are in place to expand the team to 42 members split into two platoons in the near future, he said, adding that he was proud of the officers and the team’s capabilities.

The commissioner lauded the efforts of DCP Headquarters Rakshita Krishnamurthy, Additional DCP D. Kishtayya, Additional DCP N. Bhaskar, and West Zone Additional DCP Iqbal Siddiqui, who were present along with other senior officers during the inspection.
