Telangana : The upcoming Telangana Rising Global Summit, scheduled for December 8 and 9 at Maheshwaram and Mirkhanpet, is set to become one of the most tightly secured international events hosted by the state. With nearly 600 delegates, including global investors, industry leaders, and government representatives expected to attend, authorities have rolled out an extensive, multi‑layered security plan to ensure the smooth and safe conduct of the summit. The scale of the preparations reflects both the high‑profile nature of the event and Telangana’s ambition to position itself as a major global investment destination.
A Security Operation of Unprecedented Scale
According to officials, more than 2,500 police personnel will be deployed across the summit venues, access routes, and surrounding areas. This includes officers from multiple specialized wings such as:
- Special Branch
- Intelligence Wing
- Octopus (anti‑terror unit)
- Greyhounds (anti‑Naxal force)
- Dog squads and bomb disposal teams
The deployment is designed to create a three‑tier security cordon, ensuring that every entry point, movement corridor, and high‑density zone is monitored and controlled.
In addition to manpower, the police are installing over 1,000 CCTV cameras to create a real‑time surveillance grid across Maheshwaram and Mirkhanpet. These cameras will be monitored from a central command center, enabling rapid response to any suspicious activity.
High‑Level Coordination Across Departments
The security build‑up is not limited to policing alone. Senior officials from multiple departments—including the Rangareddy District Administration, TGICC (Telangana Global Innovation and Competitiveness Council), Water Works, and Traffic Police—have been holding joint review meetings to streamline coordination.
Rachakonda Police Commissioner G. Sudheer Babu has personally overseen several of these meetings, emphasizing the need for seamless inter‑departmental cooperation. Discussions have covered:
- Logistical support
- Traffic management
- Barracks and accommodation for deployed personnel
- Mess facilities, kitchens, and washrooms
- Emergency response planning
Officials have stressed that the summit’s international scale requires meticulous planning, especially given the presence of high‑value delegates and potential investment announcements.
Traffic and Crowd Management Plans
Given the expected movement of hundreds of delegates, the traffic police have prepared detailed route maps to ensure smooth transit between the airport, hotels, and summit venues. Dedicated corridors will be created for VIP movement, and traffic diversions may be implemented during peak hours.
Parking zones, pick‑up points, and shuttle services are also being organized to prevent congestion around the summit venues.
Why Such Heavy Security?
The Telangana Rising Global Summit is being positioned as a flagship event to showcase the state’s economic potential, infrastructure capabilities, and investor‑friendly policies. With global attention focused on the event, authorities are determined to avoid any security lapses.
The presence of international delegates also necessitates heightened vigilance. Specialized units like Octopus and Greyhounds have been included to counter any potential threats, whether urban or rural in nature.
Moreover, the summit venues—Maheshwaram and Mirkhanpet—are located in rapidly developing zones near Hyderabad’s emerging industrial and tech corridors. Ensuring security in these semi‑urban areas requires additional planning and surveillance infrastructure.
Technology at the Heart of the Security Grid
The deployment of 1,000+ CCTV cameras is central to the security strategy. These cameras will be integrated with:
- Facial recognition systems
- Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR)
- Real‑time video analytics
This tech‑driven approach allows authorities to monitor crowd density, detect anomalies, and track vehicle movement with precision.
A temporary Integrated Command and Control Center (ICCC) will be set up to coordinate all surveillance feeds, emergency responses, and on‑ground communication.
Emergency Preparedness and Rapid Response Teams
Authorities have prepared contingency plans for a range of scenarios, including:
- Medical emergencies
- Fire incidents
- Traffic disruptions
- Suspicious objects or persons
- Natural contingencies such as sudden weather changes
Ambulances, fire tenders, and rapid response teams will be stationed at strategic points. Mock drills have also been conducted to test readiness levels.
Focus on Delegate Safety and Comfort
Beyond security, the administration is also working to ensure a smooth experience for the delegates. Arrangements include:
- Dedicated help desks
- On‑site medical support
- Language assistance for international guests
- High‑speed connectivity and communication support
The goal is to create an environment where delegates can focus on networking, discussions, and investment opportunities without logistical concerns.
A Showcase Moment for Telangana
The Telangana Rising Global Summit is expected to highlight the state’s strengths in sectors such as:
- Information technology
- Aerospace and defence
- Pharmaceuticals
- Green energy
- Infrastructure
- Innovation and startups
With nearly 600 representatives from global corporations and investment groups attending, the event is seen as a major opportunity to attract new partnerships and capital inflows.
Conclusion: A State Preparing for the Global Stage
The massive security build‑up for the Telangana Rising Global Summit reflects the state’s determination to host a world‑class event. With 2,500+ personnel, 1,000+ cameras, and a three‑tier security cordon, authorities are leaving no room for error.
As Telangana positions itself as a rising global hub for innovation and investment, the summit—and the meticulous preparations behind it—signal the state’s readiness to operate on the international stage.
