Panic in Delhi: AAP Minister Questions LG's Priorities Amid Rising Crime

AAP Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj raised concerns about the rise in crime in Delhi and questioned the priorities of Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena. Bharadwaj criticized the LG for not visiting police stations and called for more direct involvement in crime-affected areas. The situation underscores growing public safety concerns in the capital.

Delhi faces a surge in crime, AAP Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj claimed on Sunday, questioning Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena's role and priorities amidst rising law and order concerns.

Bharadwaj pointed out that despite Delhi having 209 police stations, the LG fails to visit these crucial sites. Instead, the LG is seen frequently addressing issues related to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), Public Works Department (PWD), and Delhi Jal Board, often taking senior officials along for inspections.

Highlighting specific incidents, Bharadwaj referred to a recent shooting in Narayana and large-scale robberies in Gulabi Bargh and Mahipalpur. He called for the LG to visit these crime scenes along with the police commissioner and home minister, emphasizing the need for better law enforcement to ensure public safety in the capital.
