In a bid to strengthen the fight against cybercrime and narcotics, the Telangana Police launched the Telangana State Cyber Security Bureau (TSCSB) and the Telangana State Anti-Narcotics Bureau (TSANB) on Wednesday. With the number of cybercrime increasing, the Government was mulling the establishment of Security and Narcotics bureaus.
Home Minister Mohd Mahmood Ali and Excise Minister V Srinivas Goud inaugurated the two bureaus that would function from the Integrated Command and Control Centre Building at Banjara Hills.
Mahmood Ali said the State government was taking all steps to strengthen the police department and providing the required funds to procure the latest technology to excel in the prevention and detection of all types of crimes.
Speaking on the occasion, Excise Minister V Srinivas Goud said, “The Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao had since the beginning emphasised on the need to have full control over the law and order in the State and it helped immensely in growth and development,” he said. He further added that the police department was working hard to ensure peace in the State. “Due to efforts of the police department, there is a decline in smuggling and sale of drugs in the State.”
Telangana DGP Anjani Kumar, said nowadays there was not much difference between conventional and cybercrime because, in every conventional crime, there is the use of technology. “The difference between conventional crime and cybercrime is a blur,” he said. He added,
“T-NAB is a march towards the safety and security of the younger generation. C V Anand has raised this bureau to such a level, it will now take off. Intelligence collection, information analysis, inter-states coordination will be part of it. These verticals will get new officers and the process is in progress.”
Hyderabad Police Commissioner C V Anand who is also the director of T-NAB said that on the instructions of the Chief Minister to crack down on drug peddlers, the Narcotics wing was started.
