A strong message has resonated across the country from the peaceful valleys of Uttarakhand. “No matter where the criminal is hiding in the country, Uttarakhand Police will find him” Under the able leadership of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, Uttarakhand Police has given this message not only to the state but to the entire nation by running a historic campaign. ‘Operation Prahar’, this campaign that dealt a heavy blow to cyber criminals has become an example in itself.

This was not a normal police action. This is the result of the foresight and bold decision, the foundation of which was laid by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami after a major incident of cyber attack. A few months ago, Uttarakhand became a victim of cyber attacks. Then Chief Minister Dhami had given a clear message that cyber criminals will no longer be safe. He has made it a point to strengthen the police department technologically. Gave orders. Restructured cyber police stations and expanded the intelligence network.

The direct result of this came in the form of ‘Operation Prahar’. In which, with the cooperation of not only Uttarakhand but also other state police and central agencies, it was shown that Uttarakhand is now not only a center of tourism and pilgrimage, but has also become a model state in fighting cyber crime. Chief Minister Dhami’s good governance model is not limited to just schemes or announcements, it is also clearly visible in his every action. Under his leadership, the activism, transparency and responsibility of governance are reflected at all three levels. This successful action has established the efficiency of Uttarakhand Police at the national level.
