In order to further strengthen the law and order situation in Madhya Pradesh, Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has given many important instructions in the high level review meeting of the Home Department. He clearly said that action against criminals should not be limited to arrest only, but the process of confiscating their illegal properties should also be carried forward rapidly. The Chief Minister laid special emphasis on making police officers proactive, accountable and technically competent.
Police will get new resources to deal with changing crimes
In the review meeting held in Bhopal, Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that with the changing times, the nature of crimes is also changing. In such a situation, the police force will be provided with necessary resources and technical assistance to deal with modern challenges.
He indicated that serious consideration is being given to implementing special investigation allowance for Investigating Officers in Madhya Pradesh. For this, a study of the systems implemented in other states has also been done. The Chief Minister said that in view of the expenses related to quick access to the crime scene, digital evidence collection, photography-videography, transportation of witnesses and victims and judicial process, additional assistance is required to the investigating officers.
There should be no laxity in confiscating the property of criminals
In the meeting, the Chief Minister directed the officials to speed up the process of identifying illegal properties of criminals involved in serious crimes and confiscating them under the legal process. He said that the fear of law will be effective only when the criminals are also financially harmed and action is taken against the property acquired from crime.
Special instructions regarding women’s safety
The Chief Minister directed to give top priority to the safety of women and girl students. He said that there should be absolutely no incidents of molestation or anti-social activities around schools, colleges, coaching centers and other educational institutions. Police will have to increase regular monitoring and patrolling in sensitive areas.
Help of experts to stop cyber crime
In view of the rapidly increasing cyber crimes across the country, the Chief Minister directed the Home Department to take the services of IT consultants and cyber experts.

Keeping in mind the Simhastha 2028 to be held in Ujjain, the Chief Minister discussed the preparation of necessary police force for crowd management, law and order, VIP security, traffic management and disaster management.
