Uttarakhand CM Dhami reiterates zero-tolerance policy on crime

CM Pushkar Singh Dhami orders strict anti-crime measures and launches medical camps for journalists to strengthen law, order, and media welfare in Uttarakhand.

"The government is fully committed to a zero-tolerance policy towards crime. - Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami"

Dehradun, February 14

In the wake of recent criminal incidents reported in Uttarakhand, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has taken a serious stance.

The Chief Minister had earlier issued strict instructions to officials through continuous law-and-order review meetings and made it clear that the government is fully committed to a zero-tolerance policy towards crime.

Following the recent incidents, the police acted swiftly and arrested the accused within a fixed timeframe. The Chief Minister has directed officials to strengthen not only post-incident action but also preventive strategies to curb crime.

In this context, necessary administrative transfers have been carried out within the police department. This step has been taken to make the police system more active, accountable, and effective.

The Chief Minister, Pushkar Singh Dhami, has especially emphasised strengthening the intelligence informer network, instilling fear of law among criminals, and increasing public trust in the police. He has instructed that citizens should approach the police without fear and receive prompt justice.

The state government's goal is to further strengthen the law-and-order situation in Uttarakhand and ensure that there is no place left for criminals in the state.

Meanwhile, on Friday, Pushkar Singh Dhami directed the organisation of special medical and health camps for journalists, considering their lifestyle, heavy workload, and irregular routines.

In compliance with these instructions, a one-day medical camp was organised on Thursday at the Haldwani Media Centre by the Information and Public Relations Department in collaboration with the Health and Medical Department.

District Magistrate Lalit Mohan Rayal, Chief Medical Officer Nainital, and Joint Director Information Nitin Upadhyay attended the camp and reviewed the health services being provided.

On this occasion, the District Magistrate said that healthy journalism is the foundation of a strong democracy, as free, fair, and fearless media play an important role in making the administration accountable and spreading awareness in society.

He also said that the state government is sensitive towards the health and welfare of media representatives and ensuring their health security is among its priorities.

Good step by CM Dhami. But transfers within police are common. The real test is whether the new officers will be truly accountable and people-centric. We need to see a sustained drop in crime rates, not just announcements.

Appreciate the focus on preventive strategies. Reactive policing after crime happens is not enough. Strengthening the informer network is crucial, especially in the hills. Also, the medical camp for journalists is a thoughtful gesture. Healthy media, healthy democracy.

As someone who visits Uttarakhand often, safety is a top concern. It's reassuring to see the government taking concrete steps. Hope the "prompt justice" promise is kept. The environment and law & order are what make the state special.

The part about citizens approaching police without fear is key. Many times, people avoid going to the police station due to past experiences or bureaucracy. If that trust is genuinely rebuilt, it will be a bigger achievement than any number of transfers.

Actions speak louder than words. We have heard "zero-tolerance" before. Show us fast-track courts, show us convictions, show us police behaving respectfully with common people. Then we will believe it. The intent is good, but delivery is everything.
