Dr M. Ramesh, IPS, a 2005-batch officer, took charge as the Commissioner of Police, Cyberabad, on 30 December 2025, succeeding Avinash Mohanty in a routine leadership transition. The appointment brings a senior officer with experience in provisioning and logistics to the helm of one of India’s major urban police commissionerates.
Cyberabad Commissioner of Police outlines priorities on day one
Speaking after assuming office, Dr M. Ramesh said the foremost responsibility of the Cyberabad Police is to uphold the rule of law and ensure fair treatment for all citizens. He set out a clear agenda that places professionalism, transparency and a people-centric approach at the centre of policing activity.
“Maintaining law and order will remain the primary focus of all police activities,” Dr Ramesh said. He highlighted traffic management as a key operational priority and directed commanders to carry out regular checks for drunk driving. The new commissioner stressed that proactive measures will be taken to reduce accidents and ensure safer roads for residents and visitors.
Dr Ramesh arrives at a time when cities are preparing for New Year celebrations. He issued guidelines to senior officers and local units to ensure incident-free and accident-free festivities, while asking police stations to remain approachable and responsive to citizen concerns. He also encouraged frontline officers to actively consider public feedback in planning and implementing policing strategies.
Before this posting, Dr Ramesh served as Inspector General of Police for Provisioning and Logistics and held full additional charge of IGP, Police Transport Organization. That background has given him direct oversight of transport and operational support functions, which he says will inform his approach to traffic management and operational readiness in Cyberabad.
Officials expect his logistics experience to support a sharper focus on resource allocation and mobility across the commissionerate. Dr Ramesh signalled that efficient deployment of personnel and assets will be a priority, particularly during peak public events and to bolster neighbourhood policing efforts.
Cyberabad’s leadership change follows standard administrative practice and comes with an emphasis on continuity. The outgoing commissioner, Avinash Mohanty, completed his tenure having overseen routine law and order responsibilities and operational responses to local incidents.
Local residents and business groups welcomed the new posting, noting that clear leadership and visible policing can improve public confidence. Community representatives said they hoped Dr Ramesh’s stated focus on citizen feedback would translate into regular engagement between police and community stakeholders.
Looking ahead, the Cyberabad Police will be assessed on its ability to manage public order, reduce road incidents and respond promptly to citizen complaints. Dr Ramesh has signalled practical steps to achieve those aims and will lead the force through the immediate holiday period and into the new year.
As Cyberabad stakeholders monitor early moves under the new commissioner, the emphasis will be on measurable improvements in traffic safety, law enforcement fairness and community trust.
