Your words mean a lot to us: DGP to Chiranjeevi

Megastar Chiranjeevi has on Friday said that the efficiency of the police departments in the Telugu States has made the lockdown largely successful.

Their efforts have been phenomenal. I am personally witnessing their stellar work in Hyderabad. It's because of the police that the spread of COVID-19 has been tamed. I urge everyone to please cooperate with the police. We have to join them in ending the virus. As the son of a constable, I am saluting the department, the legendary actor said in a video message.

The DGP of Telangana has thanked Chiru for the inspiring message. You have also awakened a wide audience, who gets inspired by you. 'Being a member from Police Family' - it means a lot, would help us greatly, in this battle against #Covid19. Your words can surely let everyone stick to #LockDown, he added.

Chiru's late father, Konidela Venkat Rao, was a police constable.
