"Our goal was to pursue a fair path in addressing public grievances. Upon assuming office, there were complaints regarding non-registration of FIRs. In response, directives were issued to ensure that FIRs should be registered for every individual visiting a police station," the chief minister said while addressing a national conference on the Haryana Police Complaint Authority.

Regarding police reforms, Khattar highlighted the establishment of the Haryana State Enforcement Bureau to strengthen law enforcement capabilities, particularly in addressing financial irregularities such as tax evasion, electricity theft, mining theft, and illegal canal water usage, according to an official statement.
