The Director General of Police in Hyderabad had a meeting to talk about how to take care of police officers and their families.

He said that giving scholarships to their kids, helping with medical bills, and providing accident insurance are very important.

He also said that the money from police canteens and departmental buildings should be used for these welfare programs, not for making money.

He wants everything to be done online so it's fair and everyone can see how the money is being used.

He also talked about giving loans to police officers at low interest rates for things like buying a house, getting married, or going to school.
