As part of the ongoing Mission Clean Punjab campaign, cleanliness drives are being carried out across various parts of Bathinda to improve sanitation and maintain public hygiene. The initiative is being implemented under the guidance of Local Government Minister Harjot Singh Bains as part of the Punjab government’s broader effort to create cleaner cities and towns.

Bhagwant Mann: Mission Clean Punjab Drive Intensified in Bathinda

According to officials, sanitation teams have undertaken cleaning operations in different areas of the city, focusing on public spaces, roads, and other locations requiring attention. The campaign aims to enhance cleanliness standards while encouraging greater civic responsibility among residents.

Action Taken Against Littering

Authorities also conducted enforcement action against individuals found littering in public places. Challans were issued to violators in areas including the Railway Station, Amrik Road, and the Tinkoni vicinity, where waste was allegedly being discarded improperly. Officials said such measures are intended to discourage littering and promote compliance with cleanliness regulations.

The administration has appealed to citizens to cooperate with sanitation workers and contribute to maintaining a clean environment by disposing of waste responsibly. Public participation is being viewed as a key component of the success of Mission Clean Punjab.

Officials stated that cleanliness drives and monitoring activities will continue across Bathinda and other urban centres in Punjab as part of ongoing efforts to improve civic infrastructure, public health, and the overall quality of life for residents.

Bhagwant Mann continued its statewide campaign against organized crime under the ongoing “Gangstran Te Vaar” initiative, carrying out extensive operations in coordination with the Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) Punjab. The latest crackdown involved targeted raids at identified and mapped locations linked to gangster networks and their associates across the state.

Bhagwant Mann Conducts 515 Raids Under Anti-Gangster Campaign

According to Punjab Police, a total of 515 raids were conducted during the operation as law enforcement agencies intensified efforts to dismantle criminal networks and curb gang-related activities. The coordinated action was carried out across multiple districts based on intelligence inputs and ongoing investigations.

Total Arrests Cross 37,000

During the drive, police apprehended 284 individuals, including five proclaimed offenders who had been evading arrest. Authorities also recovered six weapons during the raids, which officials said would aid ongoing investigations into criminal activities and illegal arms possession.

Punjab Police stated that the campaign has yielded significant results since its launch, with total arrests under the anti-gangster initiative reaching 37,216. The force noted that continuous enforcement operations, intelligence gathering, and inter-agency coordination remain central to its strategy for tackling organized crime.

Officials reiterated their commitment to ensuring public safety and maintaining law and order across Punjab. Citizens have also been encouraged to assist law enforcement by sharing information related to criminal activities through the state’s Anti-Gangster Helpline, which allows anonymous reporting.

Punjab Police emphasized that sustained action against gangster networks will continue as part of the government’s broader efforts to create a safer environment and strengthen security throughout the state.
