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.

New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi High Court on Thursday rejected petitions by the Congress challenging the initiation of tax reassessment proceedings against it for a period of four years by tax authorities.
A bench of Justices Yashwant Varma and Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav said the pleas were dismissed in terms of its earlier decision refusing to interfere with the opening of re-assessment for another year.
The present matter pertained to assessment years 2017 to 2021.
In the earlier petition, which was dismissed last week, the Congress party had challenged initiation of re-assessment proceedings pertaining to assessment years 2014-15 to 2016-17.
