  "account": "Nine months after a major policing restructuring in Hyderabad and its suburbs, the Telangana government has refined the map once more. On September 30, the Home Department issued three orders to modify the previous reorganisation from December 2025. The restructuring aimed to improve policing efficiency, supervision, response time, and law and order management.\n\nThe most significant changes occurred in Malkajgiri Commissionerate, where the Begumpet Law and Order zone merged with Malkajgiri zone, and a new Uppal Zone was created. Three new Law and Order divisions – Alwal, Uppal, and Medipally – were also established. Alwal Division resulted from combining areas previously under Tirumalagiri Division and Alwal police station.\n\nJurisdictions involving Kushaiguda, Cherlapally, Nagole, Tukaramgate, and Vanasthalipuram were reshuffled. Addagutta ward remained with Tukaramgate police station, while Vanasthalipuram police station now covers wards 41, 42, Hastinapuram, and B.N. Reddy Nagar, previously under Meerpet police station.\n\nSecunderabad Railway Station's jurisdiction remained with Gopalapuram police station of Malkajgiri Commissionerate. Begumpet police station retained the road leading to the old airport and the adjacent area. Traffic policing was revised, with a new Uppal Traffic Division comprising Uppal, Kushaiguda, and Ghatkesar Traffic Police Stations. Hyderabad's internal structure was reorganised after earlier territorial changes, reassigning police stations and divisions across various areas.\n\nTraffic jurisdictions were also reshuffled, with Begumpet, Tirumalagiri, and Gopalapuram Traffic Police Stations moving from Hyderabad City Police to Malkajgiri Commissionerate. The Women Safety Wing realigned with the revised zones, while the Women Police Station moved to Malkajgiri Commissionerate. Cyber units in Hyderabad were aligned with the new zonal structure.\n\nCyberabad saw changes at the police station and neighbourhood levels, particularly around Ameenpur-IDA Bollaram, Patancheru, Kollur, Ramachandrapuram, Narsingi, and Mokila. Portions of Ameenpur police station's jurisdiction, including Bollaram, were transferred to IDA Bollaram police station under Ramachandrapuram Division. Edulanagulapally moved from Patancheru police station to Kollur police station under Narsingi Division. Jurisdictions around Kollur, Osmannagar, Tellapur, and several BHEL and Ramachandrapuram neighbourhoods were redrawn.\n\nIn Future City, areas in the Narsingi-Mokila-Chevella belt were redefined, including Janwada, Mirjaguda, Maharajpet, Donthanpally, Gopularam, and Pilligundla. The Telangana Police Academy and Army firing range fell under Rajendranagar police station. Terms & conditions apply for commenting.",
