Assam's chief minister disclosed that the state's overall crime rate has dropped by almost 68% compared with previous reporting periods. The decline spans major categories of offences, reflecting intensified policing and preventive measures.
In parallel, the administration reported a rise in the number of chargesheets filed and a higher conviction rate, indicating that more cases are progressing through the judicial process to successful outcomes.
