Another Milestone in IISSM's Progress

The XIVth Annual International Seminar (November 23-26, 2004) in Hyderabad, as expected had generated tremendous enthusiasm among local security and safety practitioners. The consensus developed that an IISSM Chapter should be formed at Hyderabad forthwith. Mr. Sarath Chandra, IPS (Retd.), a veteran security and intelligence specialist and a former Director General of Police, was kind enough to agree to be the Chairman of the Chapter. Brig. (Retd.) P.N. Rao, VSM, an eminent faculty of IISSM for some years and who had also worked as the Chief of Security in the State Bank of India, proved a perfect foil to him and has agreed to be the advisor to Chapter.

The formation of the Andhra Pradesh Chapter was formally announced by Mr. R.K. Sinha, the President & Director General of IISSM at the Valedictory Session of IISSM-2004, in the presence of the Chief Guest of the function Mr. Y.S. Rajshekhara Reddy, the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. The Chapter will have its office at 3-3-50/1, Amrutha Arcade, Kacheguda Railway Station Road, Hyderabad - 500027 - Tel: (040) 24656912 - Fax: (040) 24747268 - Email: info@excel-security.com.
