A milestone for Cyberabad's security partnership

The Society for Cyberabad Security Council (SCSC) marked two decades of collaboration between the Cyberabad Police, industry and the community on Saturday, with a commemorative event in Hitec City. Established on August 23, 2006, the council was formed to bring these stakeholders onto a common platform to address the emerging security needs of the city's rapidly developing IT corridor.

Celebrating two decades of trust and growth

The anniversary programme, held under the theme 'Celebrating Two Decades of Trustworthy Partnership, Security & Growth', featured the unveiling of the 'SCSC@20' logo and the launch of a commemorative book, 'Enabling Enterprise – 2 Decades of SCSC'. The event drew senior police officials, government representatives, industry leaders, security experts, healthcare professionals, media representatives and community stakeholders.

Cyberabad Police Commissioner Dr M. Ramesh said that the safety and security of IT professionals and the wider IT community remain a priority for the police. He credited SCSC with supporting the police and strengthening the public-private partnership over the past two decades. Recalling challenging periods, including the Telangana statehood movement and the Covid-19 pandemic, Dr Ramesh said close coordination between the police, industry and other stakeholders had helped address security, operational and community-related challenges. He added that the partnership had evolved from responding to problems to developing proactive solutions to emerging challenges.

Former SCSC Secretary General Dr Krishna Yedula recalled the organisation's early years, noting that its formation followed discussions between the police and industry on creating a safe environment for the growing technology sector. Consultations on industry concerns and standard operating procedures eventually led to its formal establishment in 2006.

Panel discussions on key safety issues

The anniversary programme featured four panel discussions on contemporary safety and community issues. The first focused on creating safer spaces for women, children and the next generation, with an emphasis on safety awareness and responsible technology use. Participants included Cyberabad Municipal Commissioner G. Srijana, Cyberabad Traffic DCP Sheshadrini Reddy, SCSC Joint Secretary for Children and Youth Safety Vanitha Datla and Tanuja Abburi of Lloyds Technology Centre.

A second panel examined cybercrime prevention, digital evidence, fraud awareness and cooperation between police, technology experts and citizens. A third panel addressed road safety through responsible driving, driver education, enforcement, infrastructure and technology. The fourth panel focused on preventive healthcare, fitness, nutrition and collective action for healthier communities.

Recognising broader support

Cyberabad DGP C.V. Anand congratulated SCSC on its anniversary and recalled initiatives such as 'She Shuttles' and 'Chaitanya'. He noted that effective police-public engagement requires the participation of citizens and private organizations. The programme concluded with a felicitation and a vote of thanks by SCSC CEO Naved Alam Khan.

What was claimed, and who backed it

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
