Hyderabad, May 7 (UNI) Telangana Transport and Hyderabad In-charge Minister Ponnam Prabhakar expressed pride in the Indian Armed Forces following the successful completion of Operation Sindhur, stating "Jai Hind.
We are proud of our armed forces." He reassured the people of Hyderabad that there is no need to worry about the current situation on the country's borders.
Addressing the media on Wednesday, Minister Prabhakar emphasised that the Telangana State Government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, is taking all necessary steps to ensure public safety and security.
He urged citizens to remain calm but vigilant, and to report any suspicious activity to the nearest police officials immediately.
As part of preparedness measures, a mock drill is scheduled to be conducted at 1600 hours in Secunderabad Cantonment, Kanchan Bagh, and Nanal Nagar.
The Minister noted that all efforts are being made to fortify the city through coordinated actions in and around the cantonment areas.
He stated that no one needs to panic and encouraged citizens to remain courageous and cooperative. "We fully support every step being taken by the Telangana Government and the Congress Party to safeguard national sovereignty—whether it concerns internal affairs or border security," he said.
