Three-year data shows dip in crime rate in many categories
The city registered a dip in crime rates in most categories in the year gone by, when compared to 2020. Coupled with a “war on drugs and rowdyism”, the city has become “safer” for its citizens over the last one year, claimed City Police commissioner Kamal Pant on Friday.
Statistics of crimes reported in the city in the past three years, released by the city police on Friday, shows that the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns had caused a dip in crime rate in 2020. The trend was observed in 2021 as well. The number of crimes reported in both the years, in many categories, is significantly lesser than in pre-pandemic 2019.
