VARANASI, June 15 -- Uttar Pradesh director general of police (DGP) Rajeev Krishna, during a visit to Varanasi on Sunday, reinforced the state's commitment to strict law enforcement, specifically targeting digital intimidation and organised crime. Addressing a press conference at the Police Lines auditorium, the DGP emphasised that the Uttar Pradesh Police operates under a zero-tolerance policy against crime and criminals. He claimed that major crimes in the state have decreased and the sense of security among women, traders, and ordinary citizens has strengthened. During his visit to Varanasi, the DGP mentioned that officials, public representatives, and police headquarters staff conducted a detailed review regarding law and order, policing, and district-specific issues. The DGP stated that initiatives undertaken under 'Mission Shakti' for women's safety and empowerment have yielded positive results. He informed that the 60,244 newly recruited police personnel have reached their respective districts and are currently undergoing training. Once their training is complete, they will be deployed for regular police duties, which will further strengthen law and order and traffic management. Describing cybercrime as a major challenge, the DGP noted that incidents of cyber fraud have risen alongside the increase in digital transactions. The Uttar Pradesh Police is addressing this as a significant challenge. He stated that, alongside taking action against cybercriminals, a system is being developed to halt the transfer of victims' funds at the banking level, preventing the money from reaching foreign destinations. He added that action would also be taken against criminals operating from abroad, based on agreements established with various countries. He added that the law and order situation across most districts of the state, including Varanasi, is satisfactory. However, instructions have been issued to police officials to improve training and operational methods in areas requiring enhancement. The police are maintaining constant surveillance on miscreants at the state, zonal, district, and even neighborhood levels. Strict action is also being taken against those displaying bravado or acts of intimidation on social media, said the DGP. He said that the mafia will not be allowed to flourish in Uttar Pradesh at any cost. Extensive action has been taken against the mafia over the past eight to ten years, and this campaign will continue. He stated that under the chief minister's guidance, the priorities of the Uttar Pradesh Police are absolutely clear. Key priorities include ensuring the safety of women, citizens, and traders; maintaining robust law and order; reducing road accidents; improving traffic management; and effectively controlling cybercrimes. Continuous efforts are being made in all these areas, yielding positive results. Highlighting modernisation efforts, the DGP detailed a "Reducing Traffic Congestion" scheme launched approximately two and a half months ago across 20 districts. Using technology to analyse traffic patterns, police are leveraging data to assess conditions on major routes. In Varanasi alone, 11 critical traffic corridors have been identified, with approximately 230 such routes marked for improvement across the state. By analysing metrics such as vehicle speed and average travel times, the police aim to make traffic management more effective and provide public relief. Police Commissioner Mohit Agarwal and ADG (Zone) Piyush Mordia were also present on this occasion....
