The Bhagwant Mann-led Punjab government has announced a strict crackdown on extortion and intimidation cases in the state. In a fresh initiative, a dedicated helpline number 1800-330-1100 has been launched where citizens can directly report instances of threats or extortion.
The government has assured that the identity of complainants will remain completely confidential, encouraging people to come forward without fear.
Zero Tolerance Against Extortion
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann reaffirmed his government’s commitment to making Punjab free from the menace of fear and illegal money demands. He said that those who try to threaten or extort people will now face strictest action under the law.
This step reflects the AAP government’s larger agenda of ensuring law and order in Punjab and protecting the common man from criminal elements.
People’s Safety First
By creating a direct reporting mechanism, the government aims to empower people and make policing more responsive. Citizens can call the helpline at any time to lodge complaints, and authorities have assured swift follow-up action.
The Mann government has been vocal about eliminating mafia culture, whether related to sand mining, drug trade, or extortion. With this new helpline, the state wants to send a clear message—Punjab will not tolerate those who try to spread fear.
