Telangana fire wing opens control centre
1 2 Hyderabad: The Telangana fire disaster response, emergency and civil defence department on Monday launched operations at a new Fire Command and Control Centre, aiming to revolutionise fire management, enhance public safety, and expedite building plan approvals across the state. As part of the initiative, an AI-powered software system named the 'Auto Drawing Scrutiny System' was also unveiled, claimed to be the first-of-its-kind in India's firefighting domain. The state-of-the-art control centre features a sophisticated video wall system, intelligent video wall controllers, and a computer-aided dispatch system. Designed for real-time emergency monitoring and response, it enables seamless integration of multiple data sources, improving situational awareness for emergency personnel. It has been integrated with the Telangana Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) of the police, enabling real-time data sharing and coordinated multi-agency responses. The system facilitates collaboration between departments such as the police, GHMC, electricity board, and HMWS&SB, helping to minimise communication delays, support better decision-making, and ensure quicker and more effective emergency responses. Meanwhile, the department introduced the AI-powered Auto Drawing Scrutiny System, aimed at automating the review of fire safety diagrams submitted during building approval processes. Developed in collaboration with IT&EC, TGTS, and CGG departments, the software performs both value-based and positional checks, ensuring fire safety drawings meet regulatory standards with consistency and precision.

Telangana's unified Dial-112 helpline handled 45 critical cases in first six months
In the first six months of operation, Telangana's unified Dial-112 helpline handled 45 critical cases. These included 31 suicide attempts, five missing children, three instances of child marriage, two cases of child abduction, and individual incidents of attempted murder, rape, forcible marriage, and a road accident, according to data released by the Telangana Integrated Command and Control Centre (TGiCCC). Introduced on December 5, 2024, the Telangana Emergency Response Support System (TGERSS), operating through the Dial-112 platform, has replaced a host of legacy emergency numbers including 100 (police), 101 (fire), 108 (medical), women safety (181), child safety (1098) and disaster management (1077). The system, established at the Integrated Command Control Centre (ICCC) in Banjara Hills, uses computer-based dispatch technology for quick and coordinated response across departments. The system ensured real-time communication with field personnel, ensuring quick intervention and continuous monitoring by emergency control roof staff. The emergency support framework is designed to be accessible through multiple channels, including voice calls, SMS, email, SOS panic button, and ERSS web portal.

TGiCCC and IMD join forces to bolster monsoon preparedness in Hyderabad
In a move to enhance the city's monsoon preparedness and integrate meteorological intelligence into the city's emergency management ecosystem, a coordination meeting was held at the Telangana Integrated Command and Control Centre (TGiCCC), here on Thursday. The session was chaired by TGiCCC Director and former IPS officer V.B. Kamalasan Reddy and brought together key stakeholders, including officials from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD). The focus of the meeting was to integrate meteorological intelligence into the city's emergency management ecosystem. Discussions were held on syncing IMD data with systems already in place at TGiCCC, such as the Integrated Traffic Management System (ITMS), Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), Public Addressing Systems, and Variable Message Display Boards. Head of the IMD Hyderabad centre K. Nagaratna and her team presented an in-depth overview of the department's forecasting systems. She detailed the various forecasting models, from nowcast to long-range predictions, and pushed the use of cutting-edge tools such as Doppler weather radar imaging, satellite data, numerical weather models, and GIS-based special imaging. A technical review of the surveillance infrastructure, especially the types and specifications of cameras in use, was also conducted, aimed at ensuring full operational efficiency during heavy rains. The panel revisited rainfall patterns over the last 10 years and examined trends linked to both extreme precipitation events and temperature fluctuations, including cold and heat waves. The need for timely dissemination of alerts via multiple channels, notably the SACHET mobile application, was strongly emphasised to keep both officials and the public informed. The meeting concluded with a call for a multi-departmental, tech-enabled response plan backed by robust meteorological data that is critical to navigating the challenges of the monsoon season in Hyderabad.

RTA database to be integrated with TGICCC for automating challan generation
Hyderabad: With an aim to enhance real-time data accessibility for traffic enforcement, the Road Transport Authority (RTA) database will be integrated with the Telangana Integrated Command and Control Centre (TGICCC) system. This integration will enable the automatic retrieval and display of crucial vehicle-related details, such as Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate validity, insurance status, and registration information, directly within the existing TGICCC system at the time of challan generation. On Wednesday, a significant coordination meeting was held at the Telangana Integrated Command and Control Centre (TGICCC). It was convened by VB Kamalasan Reddy, Director, TGICCC, with Surendra Mohan, Transport Commissioner. The primary objective of the discussions was to integrate the RTA database with the TGICCC system. This real-time data synchronisation is expected to streamline enforcement workflows, significantly reduce manual verification efforts, and ensure that all challans are issued based on up-to-date and authenticated information from the RTA database. The Commissioner, Transport, assured the deputation of a dedicated team to facilitate the implementation of this proposed automated challan system. Further discussions at the meeting focused on the effective enforcement of key features under the Integrated Traffic Management System (ITMS). These included the Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) System, Public Addressing System (PAS), and Variable Message Display Boards (VMBs). A review of the types and technical specifications, including video analytics capabilities, of the cameras currently utilised by TGICCC was also conducted. The meeting concluded with a decisive action plan – the deputation of a dedicated technical team. This team will be tasked with assessing the feasibility of integrating the RTA system with the existing infrastructure of the TGICCC. Their evaluation will encompass system compatibility, data exchange protocols, and all necessary technical requirements to ensure a seamless and effective integration. The meeting saw the participation of Joint Transport Commissioners, Shiva Lingaiah, and Chandra Shekhar Goud along with other RTA Officials and technology experts.
