Telangana DGP Launches TG-VEER Grievance Portal for Families of Police Martyrs
Telangana Director General of Police (DGP) C.V. Anand launched the TG-VEER grievance portal and distributed QR-code-enabled identity cards to the families of police martyrs during an interaction programme in Warangal.
What Happened
On the second day of his district tour, DGP C.V. Anand participated in an ‘Athmiya Samavesham’ in Warangal, where he met with the family members of police personnel who died in the line of duty. During the event, he officially inaugurated TG-VEER, a dedicated digital platform created to address issues faced by martyrs’ kin.
Developed by the State Intelligence Bureau (SIB), the TG-VEER system serves as a consolidated repository detailing each fallen officer’s service record, family specifics, and welfare benefits received, alongside relevant Government Orders. Through the platform, families can submit grievances regarding plot allotment, title registration, compassionate appointments, financial aid, pensions, and ex gratia relief. Senior police officers have been empowered to monitor the status of these requests at both district unit and State levels.
During the meeting, the DGP recalled the sacrifice of 28 police personnel from the erstwhile Warangal district who lost their lives combating naxalism. Having started his Indian Police Service (IPS) career in the region during intense naxal activity, Mr. Anand reflected on the security challenges of that period and assured families that their pending concerns would be taken up directly with the state government.
