In July, August and September, 104, 75, and 70 FIRs were registered with the arrest of 125, 100 and 80 criminals respectively, he added.
SSP said, the dedicated drive against the anti-social elements will be a continued process. There is already a decline in the crime graph with arrests and our all-out efforts will be to control the crime in the district. We are also following the strategy to reach the main suppliers with backward investigations of small drug peddlers.
He surmised confidently that in the cat and mouse game, the police will definitely win in its dedicated drive against criminal activity in the district.
Making an appeal to the people, SSP said, “Don’t become a part of drug rackets, rather drug-addicted people should report at the de-addiction centres to rehabilitate themselves, to enjoy a comfortable life”.
We have restructured the dedicative drive to put checks along with international border villages through PCRs and CCTV fitted vehicles, said SSP.
He said, People sometimes are unable to complain to police officers about anyone, including police personnel, due to various reasons. Often they don’t know whom to approach. The police will shortly release a dedicated number to receive complaints supported with evidence in support of their complaint, against the unscrupulous persons or any other input to control the crime and identity of the complainant will not be revealed.
