In a major law enforcement initiative, Patiala Police carried out a full-night patrol and raid operation, codenamed ‘Night Domination’, across the district from 10 PM on April 11 to 4 AM on April 12.

He stated, “Apart from evaluating the effectiveness of the Night Domination initiative, I also reviewed the performance of the on-duty teams and received valuable public feedback. It is encouraging to see that citizens feel safer due to increased police visibility.”
