Senior political leader Anurag Dhanda has criticised the Haryana government over recent incidents of violence in the state, alleging deterioration in law and order. Referring to a reported shootout in Kaithal and another firing case in Rohtak a day earlier, he questioned whether the state was being run by an elected administration or criminal elements, and accused authorities of failing to take strong action against gangsters.
Anurag Dhanda Slams Haryana Govt Over Law-and-Order After Shootout Incidents
Dhanda claimed that such incidents reflect growing public insecurity and demanded immediate intervention from Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini. He alleged that instead of visiting affected locations or announcing strict measures, the leadership had not responded with the urgency expected during serious law-and-order situations.
He further stated that repeated violent crimes in public places risk eroding citizens’ trust in governance and policing. Stressing the need for decisive action, he urged the state administration to strengthen policing, intensify anti-crime operations, and ensure swift justice to deter criminal activity.
Haryana government has not yet issued a detailed response to these specific allegations
The Haryana government has not yet issued a detailed response to these specific allegations, though officials in past statements have maintained that law-enforcement agencies are actively working to curb organised crime and maintain public safety across the state.
Political observers say the remarks come amid intensified opposition attacks on the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party government in Haryana over crime-related incidents. Opposition leaders have increasingly sought to highlight public safety concerns, arguing that visible policing, quicker investigations, and transparent updates to citizens are essential to restore confidence in the system.
Security analysts note that tackling organised crime requires coordinated action between district administrations and specialised units of Haryana Police, along with intelligence-driven operations and strict monitoring of repeat offenders. They emphasise that swift prosecution and strong witness protection measures can play a crucial role in preventing such violent incidents.
