Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has launched a two‑day session with senior police officers to assess and strengthen law‑and‑order measures across Assam.
Assam's Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma began a two‑day review meeting with the state's Senior Superintendents of Police (SSPs) on Thursday. The sessions are aimed at evaluating the current law‑and‑order situation, identifying gaps, and formulating actionable strategies to improve public safety.
During the first day, the CM and the SSPs examined recent crime trends, response times, and resource allocation across districts. They also discussed coordination mechanisms between the police and administrative departments to ensure swift action on emerging threats.
The meeting, scheduled to continue for a second day, will culminate in a set of recommendations to be presented to the state cabinet. Officials expect the outcomes to guide policy adjustments and bolster policing effectiveness ahead of upcoming elections.
Stakeholders from the Home Department are also participating, providing data on crime statistics and community policing initiatives. The collaborative approach underscores the government's focus on maintaining peace and order in the northeastern state.
No specific incidents were cited, but the emphasis remains on proactive measures to prevent crime and enhance citizen confidence in law‑enforcement agencies.
