Hyderabad: The Telangana Special Protection Force (TGSPF) has taken over security at the Telangana Secretariat. A total of 214 personnel from the SPF assumed responsibility for the Secretariat’s security on Friday. The government has assigned SPF personnel to manage armed guard duties at the gates, patrol other areas, and conduct internal surveillance.
Led by SPF Commandant Devidas, the security personnel performed a pooja on the Secretariat premises before formally assuming their duties. Initially, the SPF handled the Secretariat’s security after it opened. However, on April 25 last year, security management was transferred to the Telangana Special Police (TGSP).
On August 5, the DGP recommended that security be returned to the SPF, given their specialized training in areas like security and fire protection. Acting on this recommendation, the government directed the SPF to take over security responsibilities from the Telangana State Special Police.
