The Director General of Police has announced that Punjab’s law and order situation ranks among the best in India, citing low crime rates and efficient policing.
The Director General of Police (DGP) of Punjab, in a statement released on Tuesday, asserted that the state’s law and order record is among the best in the country. He highlighted the significant decline in crime statistics over the past year, noting that Punjab’s crime index has fallen by more than 20% compared to the previous fiscal period.
"Our policing strategies, community outreach programs, and rapid response mechanisms have paid off," the DGP said. He added that the state’s police force has maintained a high level of professionalism and has been proactive in preventing criminal activities.
The announcement comes as Punjab continues to focus on strengthening its law enforcement infrastructure, including the deployment of advanced surveillance technology and the expansion of neighborhood policing units. Analysts suggest that these efforts have contributed to the state’s improved safety profile.
While the DGP praised the current achievements, he also urged the government to sustain the momentum by investing further in training, equipment, and public awareness campaigns to keep Punjab’s law and order standards high.
