Hyderabad the third safest metro city in India- NCRB

According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), Hyderabad is the third safest metro city in the country, after Kolkata and Pune.

Earlier, many leaders ,politicians, intellectuals from all walks of life expressed their concern about the law and order situation in Hyderabad. But after the Telangana state separated, the law and order situation improved a lot. It would be an exaggeration to say that Hyderabad has become one of the safest cities in India only because of the initiatives taken up by the government under the able leadership of the Chief Minister, KCR.

The city has been peaceful for the last eight years, right from the day of its formation in 2014. The government took extra care about maintaining the law and order situation in Hyderabad. Each police station was developed and the funds for the same were increased, unlike the previous governments.
