Pingili Prashanth Reddy is an Indian police officer serving as an Assistant Commissioner of Police in Telangana.
Career
[edit]Prashanth Reddy served as a police inspector at Jammikunta in the former Karimnagar district. In 2017, during his tenure at Jammikunta, he introduced a programme under which the Indian national anthem was played through loudspeakers across the town every day. The programme began on Independence Day in 2017 and was intended to promote a sense of patriotism and national unity among residents. [1]
The initiative received coverage from several independent news organisations. The Times of India reported in 2018 that the daily national anthem tradition had become a regular practice in Jammikunta and that Circle Inspector Pingili Prashanth Reddy had started the initiative. The report stated that loudspeakers were installed at multiple locations across the town and that residents stopped and stood for the national anthem. [2]
In 2019, NDTV reported that the practice had continued as a daily routine in Jammikunta. The report identified Prashanth Reddy as the police inspector who introduced the initiative and described how residents, schoolchildren and traffic stopped during the national anthem. [3]
In 2021, The Hans India reported on Prashanth Reddy in connection with the Huzurabad by-election. The article discussed his earlier work at Jammikunta and reported on community programmes associated with his tenure, including the daily national anthem programme, a food-distribution initiative and a used-books programme. It also reported on his work in connection with the development of the Jammikunta police station. [4]
In 2026, Hyderabad Mail published a profile of Prashanth Reddy while he was serving as Assistant Commissioner of Police in Kazipet. The article discussed his policing career, including his early service in areas affected by Naxalite activity, his community-oriented approach to policing and his use of social media to communicate with the public.
