Ludhiana, April 15, 2025: In a proactive move to bolster public safety and community ties, Ludhiana Police Commissioner Swapan Sharma today convened a meeting with representatives from 28 diverse associations at Guru Nanak Bhawan under the 'SAMPARK' campaign. The initiative aims to address public concerns and foster stronger police-citizen collaboration.
Commissioner Sharma announced the deployment of 250 police officials/employees from non-policing roles to field duties following a manpower audit. This strategic shift is expected to enhance police visibility at key junctions, curb street crimes, and alleviate traffic congestion in the coming weeks.
To further streamline traffic, eight city roads will be declared no-tolerance zones for traffic violations starting this week. Illegal parking and encroachments will face strict enforcement, supported by clear road markings, including yellow and white lines and zebra crossings. An Emergency Response System (ERS) has already been introduced, integrating a command-and-control center, wireless control room, PCR vans, and bikes to ensure swift responses and smoother vehicular movement.
During the meeting, Commissioner Sharma held open discussions with representatives from associations representing commission agents, vegetable and fruit markets, electronics, dairy, schools, colleges, industry, Focal Point, hand tools, surgical goods, sports, jewellery, shopkeepers, truck unions, DJs and sound, theatre, hotels, dhabas, religious groups, gun houses, auto unions, petrol pumps, and more. He assured attendees that their concerns regarding traffic, illegal parking, and petty crimes would be prioritized for swift resolution.
Sharma reiterated that the state government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has already waged a war against Yudh Nashyan Virudh’ and encouraging people to play an active role in eradicating the drug problem by sharing information about drug peddlers and addicts.
