In a comprehensive year-end review, the Director General of Police (DGP) of Haryana today released the Annual Crime Report 2025, highlighting a significant improvement in the state’s law and order situation. The report reveals a remarkable 20% decrease in organized crime and gang-related activities compared to the previous year.

Crushing the Gang Culture: The DGP credited the success to “Operation Clean,” a year-long intensive crackdown targeting the financial backbones and logistics of major criminal syndicates. “The 20% drop in gang activities is not just a number; it represents a safer environment for our businesses and citizens. We have successfully dismantled several inter-state modules that were active in the NCR belt,” the DGP stated.

Key Statistics from 2025:

Cybercrime: While traditional crime fell, cybercrime saw a marginal increase, though the “Recovery Rate” of stolen funds improved by 35% thanks to the new Cyber Command Centers.

Women’s Safety: Crimes against women showed a declining trend of 12%, attributed to the expansion of ‘Durga Shakti’ units and faster charge-sheeting.

Community Policing: Initiatives like “Police Pathshala” and “Gram Prahari” were cited as crucial factors in building trust between the police and the public, leading to better intelligence gathering.

Future Outlook: Looking ahead to 2026, the DGP announced that the focus will shift toward “Predictive Policing” and the complete elimination of “street-level” drug peddling.
