Deeply concerned about the firecrackers explosion at #Challapalli Police Station #Krishna District, in which Four(04) of our police officers, have been injured. They are receiving immediate medical attention. Ordered a thorough inquiry into the incident. The safety of our police personnel is paramount. Wishing the injured officers a speedy recovery. #AndhraPradesh #APPolice #Police @APPOLICE100 @sp_kri

Proud to see the impactful implementation of #OperationChinnariThalli by Nellore Police. 118 hotspots under surveillance, 7 Shakti teams on ground, and 5,572 Shakti warrior groups empowering women at the grassroots. Self-defence training in 3,348 institutions is a commendable step. Swift action in POCSO cases with 546 convictions and strict 60-day chargesheeting reflects strong commitment. #ShaktiApp with 112 services and monitoring of repeat offenders through SoS further strengthens safety mechanisms. This is proactive, people-centric policing ensuring a safer Andhra Pradesh for women & children. Kudos to Smt B. Raja Kumari, IG, Women Safety Wing AP; Dr. Ajitha Vejendla, SP Nellore and the entire team. @AndhraPradeshCM @HMOIndia @APDeputyCMO @APPOLICE100 #WomenSafety #AndhraPradesh #NellorePolice #APPolice

Deeply saddened by the tragic demise of SPF Constable Pilli Veeraswamy, who lost his life while on active duty near Srisailam Dam.

Glad to see such a proactive step towards strengthening women’s safety. The launch of “Stree Raksha – Police Protection for Every Home” by Sri P. Jagadeesh, Superintendent of Police, Anantapur is a commendable initiative that ensures quicker response and effective monitoring of safety concerns. This reflects the people-centric and preventive policing approach of Andhra Pradesh Police. Under the visionary leadership of @AndhraPradeshCM Sri @ncbn Garu, our Government remains committed to prioritising women’s safety and security across the State. This model initiative is truly worthy of replication across all districts. #StreeRaksha #WomenSafety #APPolice #SafeAndhraPradesh #PeopleFirst #GoodGovernance #AndhraPradesh @PMOIndia @HMOIndia @BPRDIndia @APDeputyCMO @naralokesh

It was my honour to participate in the Veterans Day celebrations organised by the #AndhraPradesh Sainik Welfare Department in #Vijayawada and pay tribute to our brave soldiers. Whether in uniform or not, our veterans continue to serve the nation selflessly during disasters, in society, and beyond the borders.

I urge our youth to draw inspiration from veterans and imbibe discipline, patriotism, and a spirit of service to the nation.
