CM K Chandrashekar Rao also asked PM Narendra Modi to sanction an IIM for Telangana.
Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao today requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to increase the number of IPS officers for the state in view of creation of more districts.
Mr Rao, who met Prime Minister Modi in the national capital on Friday, also sought 100 per cent funding for constructing road networks in the Maoist-affected areas keeping aside 60:40 ratio (state 60 per cent and Centre 40 per cent) as the internal security issues are of national importance.
"The allocation will help the posting of IPS officers as Commissioners/ Superintendents of Police/ Zonal DIGsP/Multi Zonal IGsP in various territorial units. At present these territorial units have no sanctioned Cadre posts," Mr Rao said in one of the memoranda submitted to the PM.
The Chief Minister, who is camping in Delhi, performed Bhoomi Puja (groundbreaking) for the TRS party office on Thursday. He left for the national capital from here on September 1.
The KCR-led government has created 33 districts from the earlier 10. Mr Rao also requested the Centre to sanction 21 Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas in view of the increased number of districts.
