Former DSP Nalini has accused the Telangana government of neglecting her pending dues of nearly ₹2 crore. She alleges her appeal was ignored despite CM Revanth Reddy’s assurances.

Former Domakonda deputy superintendent of police (DSP) Nalini has once again brought her long-pending financial struggle into public view, accusing the Telangana government of neglecting her case. Nalini

 claimed that her repeated appeals, including a detailed 16-page representation filed on December 30, 2023, demanding nearly ₹2 crore in subsistence allowance, have been discarded without consideration.

She alleged that even after Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy personally promised help when he assumed office, the bureaucracy sidelined her plea. “When I followed up, I was told my petition had been thrown into the dustbin,” Nalini stated, adding that she had to resubmit it but has seen no progress.

Nalini had resigned from her service in 2009 during the Telangana movement, citing the then government’s indifference toward the statehood struggle. Now, she says she may have no option but to escalate her grievance to the central government if the state remains unresponsive.

Appealing to politicians, she firmly requested that her case not be turned into political propaganda. She warned that in the unfortunate event of her death, no one should attempt to claim credit with symbolic gestures or posthumous honors.

She also urged support for her initiative, the Veda Vidya Centre, for which she had sought government assistance in her appeal.

Local Impact: Nalini’s situation highlights the broader issue of bureaucratic neglect in Telangana, where retired and resigned officials often face hurdles in securing their rightful dues. Such cases not only erode trust in governance but also raise concerns about the treatment of individuals who once served the state. For citizens, this is a reminder of the importance of transparent grievance redressal systems. If unresolved, cases like Nalini’s risk becoming symbols of state apathy.
