Telangana Greyhounds get new shooting range at Rajendranagar

HYDERABAD Director General of Police C.V. Anand on Saturday inaugurated the SPS OODA Shoot House at the Telangana Greyhounds facility in Rajendranagar, with the unit asked to maintain its strength at no less than 700 personnel, and continue rigorous operational training. The new facility has been named after martyrs Sandeep, Pavan and Sridhar.

The OODA concept, which stands for Observe, Orient, Decide and Act, has been incorporated into its training approach to help commandos assess situations, make decisions and respond quickly. Speaking at the event, Mr. Anand described the Telangana Greyhounds as a model for police forces across the country and said the unit, along with OCTOPUS, played an important role in addressing threats such as Naxalism, terrorism and hijackings.

He recalled the role played by the Greyhounds in tackling Naxalite activities and terrorist threats during the 1980s.
