DGP Singh has instructed police officials to focus on dismantling the entire criminal ecosystem, including those who provide financial support, weapons, and safe havens to criminals, as well as those who promote them on social media. He has also emphasized the importance of securing convictions under the Arms Act, sending a clear message that illegal weapons will lead to significant prison sentences.
