Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh/Jalandhar, October 1-

In a move aimed at curbing petty crimes and drug trafficking in the state, DGP Punjab Gaurav Yadav on Tuesday said that Punjab Police is all set to intensify Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras saturation at snatching and points of sale of drugs hotspots across the state.

He said that CCTV control rooms are being established at district and sub-divisional levels for real-time monitoring. This move comes after a comprehensive crime hotspot mapping of such crime hotspots and points of sale of drugs over the last three years.

The DGP was chairing a state-level Law and Order review meeting with all the senior field officers and Heads of Operational Wings to evaluate performance of all the 28 Police districts and take stock of the ongoing fight against organised crime, drug trafficking and terrorism at the PAP Complex Jalandhar. The meeting was attended by the heads of various special units of Punjab, including the Anti Narcotics Task Force (ANTF), Railways, Anti Gangster Task Force (AGTF), Counter Intelligence, Internal Security, Law & Order, Intelligence, Administration, Bureau of Investigation, Community Affairs Division, and Provisioning. All Senior Superintendents of Police (SSPs), Commissioners of Police (CPs), and Range IGs/DIGs in Punjab were also present in the meeting.
