Hyderabad: Telangana Director-General of Police M. Mahender Reddy is the only IPS officer from the Telugu States to have found a place in a list of the top 25 IPS officers of the country.
In order to recognize the contribution of IPS officers, three organisations – Fame India, Asia Post and PSU Watch – took a nationwide survey to find out the top 25 IPS officers who have created a benchmark for the newer generation in terms of performance in police service. Those IPS officers included for the survey are the ones belonging to the batches before 1995, according to a PSU Watch article tweeted by Inspector General (Women Safety) Swati Lakra on Tuesday.
The best 200 officers were chosen out of 4000. Editorial director of the Magazine Fame India, US Sonthalia said “Earlier we thought of shortlisting 100 IPS officers but then we could not downsize the list to less than 200. It was extremely challenging to choose the final 25 out of these efficient 200 super cops. So we categorized those 200 into 25 different categories and chose the top officer from each category for the final list.”
