Hi friends, took charge as CP Hyderabad for the second time today at 10 am . It was interesting to read on the board that I was the 58 th Kotwal of Hyderabad City and also am the 61 st . The Kotwali system of policing was started to manage law and order and civic issues in 1847 in the city by th Nizam. Even today , old Hyderabadis refer to the CP Hyderabad as Kotwal and once we cross the Musi river and go into South Zone , people say ‘Kotwaal Saab aaye hain’.
Therefore , there is some history attached to this post ! Called on the H’ble CM and greeted him and conducted brief reviews with officers who came to meet me to find out status of current Ganesh festival preparations” CV Anand, the new CP of the city mentioned.
