Telangana DGP launches ‘ TG-VEER’ App for police Maryrs’ families
Warangala, Aug 9 (TNT): Telangana Director General of Police CV Anand on Sunday said the sacrifices of police personnel who lost their lives in the line of duty were the foundation for the peace prevailing in the region today.
On the second day of his district visits, the DGP interacted with the family members of 28 police martyrs of the Warangal Commissionerate who lost their lives while fighting Naxalism.
On the occasion, Anand launched ‘TG-VEER’, a dedicated grievance portal for families of police martyrs.
The portal provides a single platform for families to register grievances related to financial assistance, compassionate appointments, plot allotment and other entitled benefits.
The portal also provides access to the service profile of the martyr, family details, benefits received and a centralised repository of relevant Government Orders. Senior police officers can monitor and track grievances at both unit and State levels.
The DGP also issued QR-code-enabled family cards to the martyrs’ families. Scanning the QR code will take family members directly to the TG-VEER grievance portal.
He directed the SIB officials who developed the portal to immediately communicate with all police units and collect grievances of all martyrs’ families and submit a consolidated report.
The families brought several long-pending issues to the DGP’s notice, including ex-gratia, financial assistance, plot allotment and registration or title issues, pension and other welfare matters.
Anand noted the grievances and assured the families that he would take up the issues with the Government and pursue their resolution.
He also directed the Warangal Commissioner of Police Swetha to personally monitor the issues and extend all possible support to the families.
Recalling his association with Warangal, where he began his career during the peak of the Naxal movement, Anand said he could empathise with the pain of families who had lost their loved ones in the line of duty.
Recalling the difficult years when police personnel faced ambushes and exchanges of fire, the DGP said the peace prevailing in the region today had been built on the sacrifices of officers and personnel who placed duty above their own lives.
Before proceeding to the crime review meeting, Anand inspected the under-construction Warangal Commissionerate office building, which is nearing completion. Commissioner Swetha briefed him on the ongoing works.
The DGP said the new building should improve the experience of citizens visiting the office, enhance internal efficiency and facilitate technology integration and better surveillance.
He directed officials to remove unused and dilapidated structures and improve the internal approach roads leading to the new office to ensure better accessibility and visibility.
