CM’s Guidance and Swift Decisions Were Crucial in Making the State Naxal-Free: DGP Shri Makwana

Director General of Police Kailash Makwana said that the Chief Minister’s guidance and timely decisions played a decisive role in making Madhya Pradesh Naxal-free.

The DGP said the implementation of the Dial-112 scheme within six months and the enforcement of new criminal laws were among the major achievements of 2025. Preparations are underway under the Chief Minister’s leadership to strengthen resources and fill vacant posts. He added that the Madhya Pradesh Police is continuously strengthening its capabilities to effectively tackle the challenge of cybercrime. 

Simhastha, Road Safety and Cyber Capacity Building Among Police Priorities

He said the police campaign against the drug mafia will continue relentlessly. To raise awareness about drug abuse, the state successfully ran the ‘Nashe Se Doori Hai Zaroori’ campaign in 2025. He further said that activities are being conducted in coordination with the Heartfulness organisation to manage stress and improve the mental well-being of police personnel. Simhastha-2028, road safety, and cyber capacity development remain among the top priorities of the police force.
