CV Anand front runner for next DGP

Metro India News | Hyderabad

The Telangana government is preparing to appoint CV Anand, a senior IPS officer of the 1991 batch, as the next Director General of Police (DGP). Anand has emerged as the front runner for the post, recognized for his distinguished service record and leadership in law enforcement.  

The development comes as the current DGP, Shivdhar Reddy, is set to retire on April 30, creating a vacancy at the helm of the state police force. Reddy’s tenure has been marked by steady administration and commitment to maintaining law and order, and his retirement paves the way for new leadership.  

CV Anand has held several key positions during his career, including Commissioner of Hyderabad Police, where he introduced innovative policing methods, strengthened community engagement, and enhanced crime prevention strategies. His emphasis on technology-driven policing and transparency has earned him recognition across the state.  

As the likely new DGP, Anand is expected to bring renewed focus on strengthening institutional frameworks, improving coordination across police units, and ensuring effective crime control measures. His appointment is anticipated to reinforce Telangana’s commitment to public safety, peace, and justice.
