The campaign, led under the direct supervision of Commissioner of Police Rakesh Kumar Arya, spans three zones and involves checks on Aadhaar cards, voter IDs, ration cards, and vehicle documents.

Some individuals were found with inconsistent identity details, unregistered vehicles, or no identification at all, raising serious concerns.

Many of them, mostly employed as daily wagers, were reluctant to share information.

The Commissioner is personally monitoring the progress and has urged citizens to report suspicious activity. Police are now conducting re-verification of flagged families while coordinating with other departments for confirmation.
