Great job by the police! But I hope this efficiency is consistent across all districts and not just in Shimla or other major towns. We need the same prompt service in the interiors too. The government must ensure resources are distributed fairly.

Visiting Himachal last year, I was struck by how difficult the terrain is. For the police to have the fastest response time in the country under those conditions is a remarkable feat of logistics and dedication. Other states should learn from their model.
