It is said there are black sheep among the white ones, and the Hyderabad police repeatedly prove this. However, what’s a little disturbing is that the number of black sheep in the police force appears to be quite high, with incidents of suspensions and dismissals of police personnel. Mostly, these are incidents involving breaking the law and being involved in immoral, unethical, or moral blunders.Ironically, while the non-tolerant policy of the police force against illegal activities of its personnel is being appreciated, the number of errant cops is surprising. For example, in the last year, over 45 police personnel, right from the ranks of assistant commissioners of police to constables, were placed under suspension or dismissed from service across the three commissionerates of Hyderabad, Cyberabad, and Rachakonda.The action was taken against officials involved in wrongdoings, especially those involved in civil disputes, dereliction of duties, custodial deaths, irresponsible behavior towards citizens, corruption, cheating, and so on. In the list, the latest cases involve those of Marredpally Station House Officer K Nageshwar Rao and Malkajgiri CCS sub-inspector Vijay Dharavath.But it has to be noted that in the past, it was mostly low-rung personnel like constables who committed crimes. However, nowadays, those in higher positions too are going rogue. Despite this, strict action is being taken by senior officials to act tough on tainted cops and to boost the morale of those working sincerely in the department.Also, there have been instances when errant cops were let off for various reasons. For instance, in the case of Nageshwar Rao, he was let off due to his expertise in handling criminal cases and technology usage. On a normal day, disciplinary proceedings and punishment were based on state enactments, most of which were based on the Police Act of 1861, Victorian-era legislation under which disciplining the police was not such a priority.

The National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited will launch bullet trains at eight locations across India. One of them is the Mumbai-Pune-Hyderabad project. This train will travel at a speed of 250 kmph to 320 kmph.So, it is clear that the Maharashtra Government has wrapped up the hyperloop transportation project. Meanwhile, there was a change in state government.PMRDA officials say, “The distance from Mumbai to Hyderabad is about 720 km. A separate track will be laid for this route. It has been approved by the state, the Centre, and the PMRDA. The high-speed railway line and the hyperloop route, an ambitious project of the Central Government, are 70% the same. Hence, the possibility of the hyperloop transportation project has been reduced.”

The union ministry of road transport and Highway has fixed 70 kmph as the speed limit for vehicles with less than eight seats, 50 kmph for autos, and 60 kmph for bikes in cities. However, not all states seem to be following the rules set by them, and surely Telangana is one such state. In what is rather disgusting, the speed limit at some places in the city is as low as 30 kmph.While the youngsters don’t seem to be particularly affected by such rules, other law-abiding citizens often get into trouble if they unknowingly cross the speed limits. They are the ones who pay the challans.However, it looks like the GHMC has no role to play when it comes to deciding the challan rates and speed limits. According to one anonymous GHMC employee, the GHMC does not fix the speed limits and simply follows the guidelines of traffic police. They simply comply with what the traffic police decide, and the GHMC bears the cost involved.Meanwhile, it looks like the challan amount goes to the traffic police, and many allege that the police have specific targets to complete, and hence they play with ordinary citizens. According to recently appointed ACP Traffic official, AV Ranganath, the states have the freedom to make amendments when necessary. He adds that they consult engineers to suggest the speed limit for a particular make of vehicle. He shares that they fix varying limits for different vehicles.
