Chandigarh: In a bid to wipe out the network of gangsters operating across the state and to create a sense of security amongst the residents, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday directed Punjab DGP VK Bhawra to establish a full-fledged Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF).
The soon-to-be constituted AGTF will be headed by an ADGP-rank officer.
Chairing a high-level meeting, CM Mann emphasised the need for the eradication of organised crime, adding ensuring law and order is the foremost priority in order to restore people`s confidence in the police machinery.
Mann assured of all requisite manpower, latest equipment and information technology, besides adequate funds to the police force to break this unholy nexus which has already spread its wings in the drug trade and `kabaddi` world.
Pointing out further, the Chief Minister said the AGTF would have integrated collection of intelligence, manning and execution of operations, registrations of FIRs, investigation and prosecution on the lines of similar specialised units in the country.
