Punjab has witnessed one of its most aggressive anti-crime drives in recent years as the state government escalates its crackdown on organized criminal networks. According to official data shared on the Aam Aadmi Party’s Punjab social media handle, the Gangstran Te Vaar campaign has resulted in 30,721 arrests, 77,895 raids, and the recovery of 569 illegal weapons.
The Gangstran Te Vaar campaign reflects a large-scale, coordinated effort by Punjab Police under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to dismantle deep-rooted gang networks operating across the state. Authorities claim that the operation is systematically targeting the infrastructure of organized crime rather than isolated incidents.
Intelligence-Led Crackdown Targets Criminal Ecosystem Under Gangstran Te Vaar Campaign
Officials associated with the government state that the Gangstran Te Vaar campaign is focused on eliminating the ecosystem that has historically enabled gangsters to operate with impunity. The crackdown includes intelligence-led raids, preventive arrests, and targeted action against repeat offenders and their support networks.
The government further emphasized that the Gangstran Te Vaar campaign is not just about arrests but about restoring long-term law and order stability in Punjab. By disrupting supply chains of illegal weapons and financial networks of criminal groups, the state aims to prevent re-emergence of gang-related activities.

Reiterating its stance, the administration stated that under the Gangstran Te Vaar campaign, no criminal elements will be allowed to operate freely. The message from the government is firm: those involved in organized crime will either face strict legal consequences or be forced to leave the state.
As the Gangstran Te Vaar campaign continues, Punjab Police has indicated that further intensified operations are planned in the coming weeks, targeting remaining active networks and strengthening surveillance across sensitive regions.
