Targeting Organised Crime Networks
Operation Gang Bust is what senior officials are calling this plan. They want to do more than just catch people. They want to stop Operation Gang Bust from working by breaking the strength of the gangs in Delhi and the areas around it. These gangs are set up in a way that makes them hard to catch. They use people from the area to do the shooting and help them and they also have people, outside of Delhi who tell them what to do. Operation Gang Bust is supposed to put a stop to all of this.
The police found out that some of the people they arrested have been in trouble, with the law before. Some of these people were helping the criminals by giving them places to hide and weapons. They were also collecting money from people who were being threatened. The police want to stop all of this. A senior police officer said “We want to stop the system that lets organised crime happen”.

We catch people who do things all the time and people who are in gangs and we put them away so they are not on the streets. This really helps to stop people from getting hurt. Preventive arrests help to keep people safe. That is what Delhi Police do during major national events, like these.
Public Reassurance and Continued Vigilance
People who live in neighborhoods said they saw more police around. The police are now patrolling at night checking cars and doing surprise inspections a lot often.

Law experts said that keeping an eye on things over time is very important. “A lot of people getting arrested only works if the police have done a job of looking into things and the court cases happen quickly ” said a former public prosecutor. “If not the same groups of people can get back together. Start again which is what happens with these networks.”
What is going to happen ? The future is uncertain. That is what lies ahead for all of us. We have to wait and see what lies ahead and be ready, for it. What lies ahead can be good or bad we just have to be prepared for what lies.
