Rajkot: If the ravages of the global pandemic and lockdown shook the commercial capital of Saurashtra-Rajkot to its core, it also cleansed the city of many societal ills. One of the main positive aspects was the pulling down of crime rate drastically, to a two-decade low!
The relief can partly be attributed to extended night curfew in the city as well as increasing presence of police on roads for patrolling during the lockdown.
According to Manoj Agarwal, Rajkot police commissioner, the city recorded the lowest crimes in last 20 years and 30 % less than last year, in which, strict enforcement of law and order played a crucial role.
