Telangana Police Uniform Dance Ban Looms
16 Oct
Summary
- Telangana DGP to issue memo banning police from dancing in uniform.
- Viral videos of officers dancing at official events sparked the move.
- The ban aims to uphold discipline expected of uniformed services.
In Telangana, a formal directive is expected from the Director General of Police CV Anand to prohibit police personnel from dancing while in uniform. This impending memo comes in response to several viral videos capturing officers participating in celebratory dances at official and ceremonial functions.
Recent incidents included Hyderabad police personnel dancing after the Ganesh immersion and a farewell event for an inspector at Balapur station. These public displays have drawn attention and raised questions about the expected discipline within the uniformed service.
Sources indicate that oral instructions have already been conveyed to unit heads to halt this practice, which has been observed with increasing frequency over recent years during events like Ganesh immersion and the Medaram festival. The police top brass now seeks to formally discourage these actions, deeming them inconsistent with the standards of a disciplined force.
