Chandigarh: In a major push to improve policing and curb rising street violations, Haryana Director General of Police (DGP) O.P. Singh has launched a new system of daily performance reviews across all districts. Under this mechanism, the DGP will personally monitor every district’s record of crime incidents from the past 24 hours and assign fresh targets for the next day. The move aims to increase field responsiveness, minimise crime, and ensure round-the-clock vigilance.

Daily Targets for Every Officer

According to the new protocol, all Superintendents of Police, Station House Officers (SHOs), and in-charge officers of police posts (chowkis) have been assigned specific goals for maintaining law and order over 24-hour cycles. Each morning at 8 AM, the DGP holds a state-wide review, examining:

• All criminal incidents reported in the previous 24 hours

• The actions taken by local police teams

• Gaps in response or investigation

• Immediate corrective steps needed

Based on this assessment, officers receive a fresh set of objectives for the next 24 hours. The idea, senior police officials say, is to break larger law-and-order challenges into small, time-bound units that can be monitored in real time. This has reportedly boosted alertness and accountability among district police units.

DGP O.P. Singh fielded several media questions on Monday, reiterating that the new policing model focuses on swift action, short-term achievable goals, and continuous monitoring.

Crackdown on Reel-Making and Stunts in Luxury Cars

One of the key issues the DGP highlighted was the surge in dangerous stunts and social-media reel making on highways, especially in Gurugram. Complaints have been steadily rising, with videos frequently showing:

• Youth climbing onto car rooftops while driving

• Filming high-speed stunts on expressways

• Drunk individuals throwing bottles onto roads

• Groups causing obstruction and nuisance in moving vehicles

Taking serious note, DGP Singh directed all district police units to initiate stringent action against such offenders. Police have been instructed to monitor expressways, major highways, and city stretches where these activities are common. Those caught performing stunts, recording reels in moving cars, or causing public nuisance will face strict penalties, including challans, vehicle seizure, and legal action.
