Siddipet: Hyderabad had emerged as the most livable city in the country due to the untiring efforts of the Telangana Police in maintaining law and order. This in turn had helped the city transform into an investment hub attracting large number of MNCs to set up shop, Finance Minister T Harish Rao said on Friday, citing Amazon’s decision to invest Rs 21,000 crore in Hyderabad as the latest instance of investment inflow.

Since then, the police station was being run from a temporary building. The Police department built the Markook Police station as a model with best architecture and ultramodern technology.
Speaking after the inauguration, the Minister said Telangana Police was rated as the best since the police treat the citizens like their family members. Stating that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao was extending all help to the Police department, he said the Chief Minister also granted funds for purchasing new vehicles for all the police stations.
