Hyderabad, April 13 (IANS) Responding to the concerns expressed by Union Minister of State for Home Bandi Sanjay Kumar in the wake of the Nashik IT firm case, Telangana Director General of Police B. Shivdhar Reddy said on Monday that the state police remain firmly committed to ensuring a safe, inclusive and harassment-free environment for every citizen.

The state police chief wrote that the concerns raised by Bandi Sanjay have been noted.
He mentioned that through initiatives like the Society for Cyberabad Security Council (SCSC)—a unique Police-Industry partnership— police actively engage with organisations, HR teams and communities to strengthen workplace safety and accountability.
“Proactive measures such as security and safety audits of working women, hostels and PG accommodations, free SheShuttle services, and Margdarshak – your buddy in distress, working closely with SHE Teams, ensure continuous support, especially for women professionals,” the police chief said.
“Our systems are robust, responsive and fair. A fully functional Women Safety Wing, unique concept of SheTeam and Bharosa Centre, where every complaint is taken seriously, acted upon promptly, and no concern is overlooked,” he added.
The DGP stated that the Telangana Police will continue to work closely with citizens, communities and industry to uphold the values enshrined in our construction.
MoS Bandi Sanjay had posted on Sunday that after the Nashik corporate jihad case, Telangana cannot sit silent and wait for its turn.
“Hyderabad has lakhs of IT employees. Their workplace must be for careers, not coercion, harassment, religious targeting, exploitation or secret pressure networks. I urge Telangana DGP for an immediate meeting with all major IT company heads, especially HR teams. Put strict accountability in place. No complaint should be buried. No victim should be isolated. No management should look away,” the BJP leader wrote.
“Many employees are already sharing incidents from offices on social media. Do not ignore these warning signals. Company heads, HRs, Managers are requested to treat employee safety and dignity as a top priority, encourage open reporting, and address every concern with seriousness and fairness. From our end, we will keep tracking such issues as well,” the MoS added.
