JAMMU, Dec 31: Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Jammu, Joginder Singh, today claimed that 4,134 FIRs were registered in Jammu district during 2025, marking the lowest crime registration in the last five years.
During the same period, he said, police disposed of 5,122 cases, including 1,968 old cases and 3,154 new ones, which is the highest disposal rate recorded in the past five years.
Addressing media persons at DPL here today, the SSP Jammu clarified that the reduction of 288 cases was the result of strong preventive measures such as PSA and PIT-NDPS detentions, effective bail contesting, bail cancellation appeals, proactive policing, 208 preliminary enquiries under Section 175 BNSS, and sustained deployments during Operation Sindoor and flash-flood duties.
