A wave of murders in Punjab, including the recent killing of AAP leader Lucky Oberoi, has intensified scrutiny on the state's deteriorating law and order situation. Opposition parties have lambasted the current AAP government for its ineffectiveness in controlling the rising crime spree.
Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria expressed his concern over the disappearing fear of law among criminals, despite police reports claiming control. The state's former DGP argues that more rigorous efforts by administrative agencies are necessary to curb the ongoing criminal activities.
Punjab's DGP Gaurav Yadav insists that the state's crime rate remains below the national average. Nonetheless, with 92 shooting incidents linked to organized crime in the past three years and continuous external threats, the call for more stringent measures to ensure public safety becomes imperative.
