Mr. Kaushal observed that the enhanced vigil helped to keep a check on the smuggling of red sanders. Enhanced inter-State collaboration with border security and neighbouring State police forces also led to concerted efforts to clamp down on the menace. “There is a 14% dip in the number of cybercrime cases, 30% fall in road accident cases and a 6% fall in the number of cases of violence against women,” Mr. Kaushal told the media.
