MAHABUBABAD: Marking Telangana Praja Palana Dinotsavam, Mahabubabad district SP Dr Shabarish, hoisted the national flag at the district police headquarters here on Thursday and extended greetings to police officers, staff and the people of the district.

Historical significance of September 17

Addressing the gathering, the SP recalled that although India attained Independence on August 15, 1947, the Hyderabad State continued under the Nizam’s rule.

Dr Shabarish said welfare, transparency and accountability are key pillars of democratic governance. He urged that the system of people’s governance should ensure that government services and welfare schemes reach every eligible beneficiary in a transparent manner.

Police duty: protect peace, stay close to people

Maintaining law and order and ensuring public safety are the primary responsibilities of the police, the SP emphasised. He directed every police officer and staff member to function responsibly, stay accessible to the public and resolve citizens’ grievances effectively.
