Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Friday directed the Punjab Police to be vigilant against radicalisation campaigns being carried out on various social media platforms.

Chairing a high-level meeting to review the crime and law and order situation in the state, the Chief Minister said prevention of terrorist crime was his government’s top priority agenda.

Amarinder ordered all-out efforts on the part of the police to trace previous undetected cases in a time-bound manner, especially the Maur bomb blast in Bathinda (31st January), murder of Chand Kaur (Bhaini Sahib) and attack on Dhadrianwale in Ludhiana.

Even as he asked the police officials to tighten their belts in dealing with militancy and crime in the state, the Chief Minister issued a strong warning to them against any failure to give respect and due courtesy to legislators and other elected functionaries.

He said he had received complaints from various districts in this regard and would not allow the position of the elected representatives to be undermined in any manner.

Emphasising his government’s zero-tolerance approach to handling cases of sacrilege, the Chief Minister said any attempt to disturb the state’s communal harmony would be strictly dealt with.
