Telangana Minister for IT K T Rama Rao tells police to use drone as possible crime stopper
Hyderabad:: Emphasising the use of cutting edge technologies for better policing, Telangana Minister for IT and Industries KT Rama Rao on Wednesday advised the state police to use drones as a first responder from the department to a crime scene.
Speaking at the launch of Cyberabad Command Control and Data Centre, the minister also asked health department officials to coordinate with state police to integrate ambulance movement with the police systems so that fewer traffic routes are indicated for passage to hospitals.
"My request (to police) is to talk to DGCA ( director general of civil aviation) for drone policing...in select areas.
The moment the SOS button is pressed, the drone should go as the first responder...if you use a drone it can reach in one minute (to the spot). It can scare the crime perpetrators.
Police personnel can go (to crime spots) as second responders," Rama Rao said.
Lauding the Telangana polices efforts in maintaining law and order, Rama Rao said there are neither curfews nor communal tensions in Hyderabad for the past several years.
Quoting a survey, he said the capital has over five lakh CCTV cameras installed-both government and private-- making the city with the highest number of surveillance gadgets in the country.
Rama Rao said as per Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao's instructions, ten lakh CCTV cameras will be installed in the city.

Niqab incident: Nitish Kumar perhaps revealing his true colours, says J-K CM
Srinagar (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised his Bihar counterpart over the niqab incident and said that Nitish Kumar might be slowly revealing his true nature.
"Nitish Kumar, who was once considered a secular leader, may be slowly showing his true colours," Abdullah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
Abdullah said Kumar removing the face veil of a Muslim woman doctor was wrong and cannot be justified by any means.
"We have seen this kind of incident here several years ago. Have you forgotten how Mehbooba Mufti removed the burqa of a legitimate voter inside a polling station? That act was wrong, and this act (of Kumar) is also wrong.
"If the (Bihar) chief minister did not want to hand over the order to her (Muslim woman), they could have kept her aside. However, to humiliate her like this is totally wrong," the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.
Kumar stirred a huge controversy after he removed the face veil of a Muslim woman at a function earlier this week.
