Multiple challenges kept Telangana police on their toes in 2021

From road accident deaths to cyber crime, this year’s crime files are dotted with varied but nagging incidents

Successful in suppressing Left Wing Extremism (LWE), but struggling to strike in similar fashion in other areas of policing. That puts in perspective the performance of Telangana police this year, which is drawing to an end. By neutralising six Maoists in a joint operation with Chhattisgarh police on Monday, they proved their upper hand once again in the battle against LWE.

The success is not at same level when it comes to smuggling, sale and spread of ganja in the State, dance of death on roads and ever increasing cyber crimes. Instances of seizures of ganja in huge quantities in different parts of the State are staring at Telangana police.

Authorities were victorious in making the State free of ‘Gudumba’. While illicitly distilled liquor-manufacturing came down drastically, sale and smuggle of ganja witnessed a swift rise.
