Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy chaired a high-level security meeting in Hyderabad on May 7, 2025, to assess the state’s preparedness following India’s successful execution of Operation Sindoor. In response to the military strikes targeting Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, Reddy emphasized security measures aimed at preventing threats to the state’s safety and stability.
Key Security Measures Implemented

- Strict crackdown on fake news through a special task force
- Enhanced coordination with the Red Cross and emergency medical services
Security Systems and Communication Upgrades
To improve response efficiency, all CCTV cameras in Hyderabad’s police commissionerates will be connected to a central command control center. Additionally, a 24×7 helpline will be launched for public reporting of suspicious activities.
Focus on Preventing Misinformation
In light of growing concerns over misinformation, a special anti-fake news cell will be established. Reddy emphasized the importance of maintaining public order, warning against rumors that could incite panic.
Heightened Vigilance at Sensitive Locations
Increased surveillance and security measures will be enforced at sensitive areas such as foreign consulates, IT hubs, and district headquarters. Police will work closely with local peace committees to ensure social harmony.
