Telangana Police: Growing gun culture in Telangana.

Gun culture is increasing in Telangana. Whatever the reason, there are incidents where police have lost their lives in the line of duty. This shows that higher officials are considering giving weapons to the police working in the field. There is a discussion going on in the police department and a decision on this will be taken soon.

What are the reasons..

About ten days ago, two policemen were shot dead by SIMI terrorists at Suryapet bus stand. Then he thought of giving weapons to the police. But it was not implemented. Recently, this issue has heated up again due to the Afzalganj incident in Hyderabad city. When leftist extremism was prevalent in the common state, there were special arrangements in the police stations of the affected areas. If Naxalites attack, the soldiers have made preparations to fight them with weapons.

They have weapons.

Earlier SSI and subsequent rank officers had weapons. Weapons were also kept available at the stations. However, after leftist extremism subsided somewhat, this policy was abandoned. Only station house officers and those high ranking officers working in Maoist affected areas were given weapons like pistols. Armed sentry posts were also removed. Just in the name of surveillance… unarmed soldiers are performing guard duty.

Many incidents..

In Telangana, all the personnel of police stations in areas, towns and cities where there are no Maoists have been disarmed. Due to this many incidents happened. Some policemen lost their lives. In 2009 and 2010, terrorist Vikaruddin had killed two policemen due to lack of weapons. Five others were injured.

Firing of unruly sheeters..

Another incident happened in 2014. Rowdy sheeter Alam Gaur opened fire on the police who came to arrest him in the fake currency case. A constable named Ishwarayya died in this firing. On April 2, 2015, two SIMI terrorists named Aslam and Ijazuddin shot dead constable Mettu Lingaiah and home guard Kummari Mahesh at Suryapet bus stand. SSI Siddhaiya, who went in search of him, shot and killed Constable Nagaraj.

With the latest incident..

Recently, two accused of robbery in Bidar, Karnataka had come to Hyderabad with a bag full of money. He tried to board a bus to Raipur, Chhattisgarh. In this sequence he fired once again. Recently there have been comments that guns are being transported from North India to Telangana. There are warnings that danger lurks in the background. With these developments, there is a demand to equip the police with weapons in the field also. There is discussion in the police department that a decision will be taken on this issue soon.
