Naidu urges tech-driven, humane policing in Andhra Pradesh

In a recent statement, former Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu highlighted the need for a policing framework that leverages advanced technology while ensuring humane treatment of citizens. He stressed that modern tools such as digital surveillance, data analytics and real-time communication can enhance efficiency and accountability within the police force.
Naidu argued that a technology-driven approach must be balanced with respect for human rights, urging police personnel to adopt a compassionate mindset in their day-to-day interactions. He said that such a dual focus can help build public trust and reduce instances of misconduct.
The call comes amid ongoing discussions about police reforms across Indian states, with several governments exploring ways to modernise law-enforcement agencies without compromising civil liberties. Naidu’s appeal adds a political voice to these debates, urging policymakers to prioritize both innovation and empathy in future policing strategies.
