In the heart of Jammu’s Bakshi Nagar, a strong and determined stand is being taken against rising theft and criminal activity. SHO Azad Manhas has emerged as a bold and active officer, winning praise from locals for his consistent efforts to curb crimes, especially thefts that have recently troubled residents and small shopkeepers alike. His proactive policing and visible presence have sent a clear message to wrongdoers — their days are numbered.
At a time when thefts are becoming increasingly common in many parts of the city, the firm action by the Bakshi Nagar police under SHO Azad Manhas is restoring a sense of safety in the area. More than just nabbing thieves, it’s about re-establishing public trust in the law-and-order system. And that trust is crucial — because if strong steps are not taken today, then tomorrow even poor and hardworking citizens will fall victim to these emboldened criminals.
Local citizens have begun expressing relief and appreciation, stating that for the first time in months, they feel a little more secure walking the streets or closing their shops at night. However, this is only the beginning. The fight against crime requires both continued police action and public support.
The message is simple: If society remains silent today, tomorrow’s consequences will be grave. Those who loot today without fear will grow stronger unless stopped. The poor, who already struggle to survive, will suffer the most if theft becomes normalised.
Jammu needs more officers like SHO Azad Manhas—officers who take fearless and timely action. It is the duty of every citizen to support such efforts and take a united stand against crime in every neighbourhood.
