The Punjab Police has undertaken the checking of vehicles, particularly commercial vehicles, carrying various types of goods during the intervening night of November 01/02, 2025 in various parts of the state based on specific intelligence inputs.
A Punjab Police Spokesperson stated here today that the vehicle checks were conducted under the supervision of Gazetted Officers at selected places in the State in order to conduct streamlined and orderly vehicle checking without causing any inconvenience to the general public.
The Spokesperson further stated that Punjab, the sensitive border state, has been facing the brunt of the designs of the Pakistan’s ISI to bleed India by waging a proxy war, through smuggling of contraband, arms and explosive from across the international border using rogue drones and further transporting these contrabands through various types of vehicles. The anti-national forces have been innovative in changing their modus operandi and their activities have increased in intensity and efforts after Operation “Sindoor”.
The Punjab Police Spokesperson stated that the State Police is highly conscious of its duties towards the citizens and the fact that general security measures have to be conducted in a manner which cause minimum inconvenience to the public. Reports have been received stating that checking of vehicles carrying newspapers led to delays and late delivery of newspaper in several parts of the state.
Due diligence and care would be exercised by Punjab Police to ensure that minimum inconvenience is caused to the general public during conduct of security checks, especially during vehicular checks. At the same time, the need for an active and energetic Internal Security Grid in Punjab cannot be overemphasised in the present internal security scenario.
