Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma stressed on Monday that building a strong rule of law and targeting criminals top the state government’s agenda. He made these comments during the launch of three new police stations in Jaipur, including Narayan Vihar, Journalist Colony, and Khora Bisal.
Sharma explained that real progress happens only when people feel safe and secure. That’s why his government focuses on modernizing the Rajasthan police force to create a fear-free environment for everyone. “These new stations aren’t just buildings—they’re big steps toward a safer Rajasthan,” he said.
Right after taking office, the team set up an Anti-Gangster Task Force and a Special Investigation Team to handle paper leak cases. They’ve rolled out major police reforms, like adding two new offices each for Additional Superintendents of Police and Deputy Superintendents of Police. The state now has 22 new police stations, eight upgraded outposts turned into full stations, and approval for 35 more outposts.
To fight gangs and drugs, they’ve created 255 posts under the ADG Crime Branch for the Anti-Gangster Task Force, plus a dedicated Anti-Narcotics Task Force. Jaipur’s police headquarters got a boost too, with one new station and nine fresh outposts.
For women’s safety in Rajasthan, 65 Anti-Romeo Squads now patrol schools, colleges, markets, and public spots to stop harassment. The government launched three women police battalions—Padmini, Kali Bai, and Amrita Devi—with 2,216 posts. They’ve also deployed 500 Kalika patrol units to protect women and girls. Quick help comes through the women’s helpline 1090 and the RajCop app, which handles complaints fast.
The Rajasthan police have gone digital, putting criminal records online at every station. You can now check details on arrested people and missing persons right on the Rajasthan Police website.
To speed up responses, they’ve added 25 interceptor vehicles, 750 motorcycles, and 500 mobile unit vehicles. Forensic labs got stronger with 123 new posts, helping investigations move quicker. Home Guard volunteers see a 10% raise in their honorarium for two years in a row, and 2,000 new constable jobs will beef up the force.
Sharma pointed out that these efforts are paying off—crime rates in Rajasthan are dropping steadily. Overall crime fell 19.45% from 2023 to 2025, and another 13.90% between 2024 and 2025. Atrocities against Scheduled Castes dropped 17.80%, against Scheduled Tribes by 18.77%, and crimes against women by 9.24%.
Sharma kicked off the event virtually and later chatted with police officers. Joining him were Minister of State for Panchayati Raj Jhabar Singh Kharra, Director General of Police Rajiv Kumar Sharma, top officials, local leaders, security staff, and residents.
