The central government has instructed district magistrates and superintendents of police nationwide to enforce a zero‑tolerance policy against crime, according to a Times of India report.
Newly issued guidelines from the Union government call on all district magistrates (DMs) and superintendents of police (SPs) to adopt a zero‑tolerance approach toward criminal activity. The directive, reported by The Times of India, urges officials to act swiftly and decisively, ensuring that any breach of law is met with immediate legal action.
Authorities are asked to strengthen surveillance, accelerate investigations and coordinate closely with state law‑enforcement agencies. The government emphasizes that a consistent, uncompromising stance is essential to restore public confidence and deter future offences.
Implementation will be monitored through regular briefings and performance reviews, with senior officials expected to report progress to the Ministry of Home Affairs. The move reflects a broader policy push to curb rising crime rates across the country.
