Former Haryana leader Hooda has called on Shah to address the state’s worsening law‑and‑order situation, citing rising crime and public unrest.
Former senior leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda publicly urged Shah to take immediate steps to curb the deteriorating law‑and‑order scenario in Haryana. He highlighted a noticeable rise in criminal incidents and growing public anxiety over safety across the state.
Hooda’s appeal comes at a time when local authorities have faced criticism for perceived lapses in policing and response to disturbances. Residents in several districts have reported an uptick in thefts, assaults and communal tensions, prompting calls for stronger enforcement.
The demand places pressure on Shah, who is expected to outline concrete measures such as deploying additional police personnel, enhancing surveillance and accelerating pending investigations. Political analysts say the issue could become a focal point in upcoming electoral contests.
While Hooda stopped short of naming specific incidents, his statement underscores a broader concern that law‑and‑order challenges may erode public confidence in the state administration.
