Speaking to the media, the DGP praised the efforts of the Khowai police force in maintaining law and order, stating, “I’m here in Khowai to assess the ground situation. The state police, including this district, has been performing commendably.”
A major highlight of his briefing was the noticeable decline in road traffic fatalities across the state. “As of June this year, 88 deaths have been reported due to road accidents, compared to 126 during the same period last year. That’s a 30% reduction, and road safety remains a priority for us,” he noted.
On the ongoing anti-drug operations, Anurag revealed that the police have already seized 18 lakh tablets this year—nearly matching last year’s total of 18.6 lakh.
