In a decisive move to strengthen the law-and-order mechanism across Haryana, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini chaired a high-level review meeting on Thursday evening that lasted over four hours. The meeting was aimed at evaluating the crime situation in the state and enhancing policing strategies to ensure safety and justice for every citizen. The Chief Minister issued a series of strict and focused directives, emphasizing a zero-tolerance policy towards crime, especially concerning women’s safety, drug trafficking, and extortion.
Taking a stern stand against rising instances of crime, the Chief Minister directed top police and administrative officials to assess criminal activity down to each police station area. He stressed that accountability must not stop at the district level but must be fixed at the level of each police post. Any spike in crime in a particular region should immediately prompt administrative intervention and action.
Chief Minister Saini underscored that crimes like extortion and ransom must be dealt with iron hands. He made it clear that such activities will not be tolerated under any circumstances and demanded rigorous enforcement by police officers. Officials were asked to remain vigilant and act swiftly so that public trust in law enforcement is reinforced and citizens feel protected.
Women’s safety was given top priority during the deliberations. The Chief Minister instructed police officials to inspect schools and colleges, especially girls’ institutions, at regular intervals and ensure a consistent presence around them during opening and closing hours. He urged officers to engage with students directly, educate them about safety protocols, and ensure that they feel supported and secure. He also highlighted the importance of deploying specialized forces like the Durga Shakti unit for intensified patrolling in crowded marketplaces and sensitive areas.
Addressing the issue of rising drug abuse in Haryana, the Chief Minister directed the police to escalate their efforts against narcotics smuggling and consumption. He asked for district-wise responsibility to be fixed on senior officers to oversee anti-drug drives. He emphasized that Haryana is committed to becoming a ‘drug-free state’ and that comprehensive and coordinated campaigns should be launched to rescue youth from the clutches of addiction. Drug-related FIRs must be monitored closely, prosecution processes should be fast-tracked, and guilty individuals should face swift justice.
Chief Minister Saini also spoke on the conduct of the police force and demanded that a high level of discipline and integrity be maintained by personnel. He declared that any policeman found consuming alcohol on duty, particularly while in uniform, would face immediate and strict disciplinary action. The objective, he said, is to build a public-friendly police system that prioritizes service and accountability.
Furthermore, the Chief Minister emphasized prompt action on citizen complaints. He directed officers to immediately acknowledge and act upon grievances submitted via the Jan Samvad portal or in writing. He reinforced that addressing the concerns of common people in a timely and just manner is the government’s primary responsibility.
To enhance community engagement, the Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi advised officers to directly connect with citizens and resolve issues on a priority basis. Such dialogue, he said, not only builds trust but also boosts administrative efficiency and transparency. Chief Principal Secretary Rajesh Khullar echoed these sentiments and suggested forming specialized extortion cells in each district to investigate such cases thoroughly and send a strong message to wrongdoers.
Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Dr. Sumita Mishra instructed that citizens who lodge complaints at police stations must be given a receipt immediately. This, she said, ensures transparency and helps victims feel assured that their grievances are being addressed. She further directed that Superintendents of Police conduct routine inspections of police stations and maintain direct communication with the public to improve service delivery and reinforce trust in law enforcement institutions.
DGP Shatrughan Kapoor, the Advocate General of Haryana, and several senior police officials were also present during the comprehensive meeting. The state’s top leadership reaffirmed their unified commitment to building a safer, more responsive, and transparent policing system across Haryana. The administration also reiterated the need for continuous monitoring of crimes, particularly those involving women and drug offenses under the NDPS Act, ensuring timely investigation and justice.
With the meeting concluding on a high note of determination and urgency, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini’s proactive leadership signaled a clear intent — that safety, accountability, and justice will be at the core of Haryana’s governance model.
