Prophet remarks: Hyderabad police on its toes to ensure peace

Hyderabad: The controversy that arose over the remarks of now suspended Bhartiya Janata Party leaders Nupur Sharma and Naveen Kumar Jindal is robbing officials of the Hyderabad city police of their peace.
No sooner than any protest “pro or anti Nupur” program is held, another report of a counter protest or programme drops in their Whatsapp. Since the Nupur Sharma and Naveen Kumar Jindal issue picked up in the first week of June, police officials have ben spending more time in office with focus more on preventing a communal flare up.
Several rounds of meetings have been reportedly held between higher police officials everyday from the Hyderabad police to see that peace prevails.
According to cops, Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) is very particular about the law and order situation in the state and has reportedly been regularly asking higher ups to see that peace prevails.
From the beginning, KCR has reportedly been that reiterating if peace prevails then there would be development and investments in Telangana. With the CM focusing more on maintaining law and order, the present controversy with the BJP leaders is proving to be a litmus test for the Telangana police.
Although the situation in Telangana remains by and large peaceful barring a couple of instances where police used force to disperse unlawful assemblies, top cops are keeping an eye on every small development to ensure it does not grow into a major communal flare up.
