Hyderabad Police Launch New Drive to Protect Women in Public Transport

Hyderabad: In a significant step towards ensuring women’s safety, the Telangana Police Women Safety Wing has launched a Safe Mobility Initiative in collaboration with multiple transport agencies to curb harassment in public and private transport across Hyderabad, Cyberabad, and Rachakonda.

The initiative is being carried out in partnership with the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC), Hyderabad Metro Rail, Transport Department, and Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC). It covers buses, metro trains, autos, and private transport vehicles.

How Women Can Report Harassment

The new drive makes it easier for women to seek immediate help in case of harassment.

  • Inform bus conductors or auto drivers – they will act as first responders.
  • Use the Metro alert system to report incidents.
  • Call Dial 100 or 112 directly for immediate assistance.

Conductors and drivers have been trained to alert emergency services right away, triggering a quick response by police patrol teams and She Teams.

Strong Coordination Between Agencies

Each participating organisation will appoint a nodal officer to coordinate with the Women Safety Wing. The wing will monitor every complaint, investigation, and outcome to ensure accountability.

TGSRTC conductors will undergo special training to handle complaints and assist women in distress. Police patrolling units will respond promptly, and offenders will be handed over to She Teams for further action.

Officials noted that harassment in crowded public spaces often goes unreported because offenders are strangers and victims feel that lodging complaints will not bring results. This initiative seeks to break that pattern by enabling faster reporting, quicker police intervention, and stricter action against offenders.

The goal is to not only protect women but also shift public attitudes and discourage harassment that has often been normalised in public spaces.

Hyderabad Floods: Himayat Sagar Gates Opened; Musi River Overflows, Streets Submerged, Over 1,000 Rescued

Hyderabad, September 27, 2025: Heavy rainfall in Hyderabad led to the opening of the Himayat Sagar reservoir gates on Friday night, causing the Musi River to overflow near Chaderghat Bridge. As a precautionary measure, the road near the bridge was closed, resulting in severe traffic congestion. Over 1,000 residents were evacuated from low-lying areas to ensure their safety

The overflowing river also caused flooding in nearby houses and low-lying areas along the Musi. Parts of Mithila Nagar Colony in Meerpet Municipal Corporation, Rangareddy District, experienced significant waterlogging on Friday

Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy instructed officials to remain on high alert, monitor flood-prone areas, and relocate residents as necessary. Emergency teams were deployed to assist in rescue operations, and relief camps were set up for displaced families 

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued an orange alert for Saturday, forecasting continued heavy rainfall across Hyderabad and other districts in Telangana, along with thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds reaching 40–50 km/h. Residents in low-lying areas are advised to remain indoors and prepare for further flooding

Authorities have opened the Himayatsagar and Osmansagar reservoirs to relieve water pressure, warning those near the Musi River banks. The situation remains critical, and residents are urged to stay informed and follow safety instructions from local authorities.
