Operation Parhar, launched by Punjab Police in January 2026, was primarily aimed at addressing which of the following issues in the state?
Gangster networks
Operation Parhar was launched by Punjab Police in January 2026 as a state-wide crackdown on organised gangster networks, targeting their shooters, financiers and overseas handlers through coordinated raids and arrests.
The drive followed a series of gang-related shootings and extortion incidents and involved intelligence-based operations across districts.
Border infiltration in Punjab is tackled by the Border Security Force (BSF); drug trafficking is addressed by campaigns such as the earlier Operation Seal-Punjab Border and NCB actions; cybercrime is handled by dedicated cyber cells, not by Operation Parhar.
Hence, Operation Parhar targeted gangster networks.
