Punjab facing rising crime and administrative lapses, says Dr Daljit Singh Cheema

The Akali Dal leader highlighted a surge in theft, homicide and bomb incidents across Punjab, accusing the police of diverting attention from core duties. He questioned why departments such as the Pollution Control Board are being bypassed and why routine tasks like cleaning the Rohtak municipal area are neglected. Cheema argued that the administration’s failure to address these law‑and‑order challenges reflects a broader breakdown in governance.
