Bhopal: Under the dynamic leadership, strategic vision and firm direction of Director General of Police Kailash Makwana, the Madhya Pradesh Police achieved landmark successes in 2025, strengthening internal security, crime control and public trust across the state.
The year marked a historic milestone as Madhya Pradesh was declared completely free from Naxal influence after more than three decades. Well-planned operations by Hawk Force, district police and special armed units led to the neutralisation and arrest of several hardcore Naxals carrying rewards worth crores. A major boost came with the surrender of 10 armed Naxals in December, reflecting the effectiveness of the state’s surrender and rehabilitation policy.
Law and order remained a priority, with decisive action against terror modules, organised crime and mafias. The arrest of a key absconding accused in the Jaipur serial blast case further highlighted the force’s efficiency. Simultaneously, the state-wide “Nasha Se Doori Hai Zaroori” campaign emerged as a mass movement, combining enforcement with public participation, resulting in record seizures of narcotics and illicit liquor.
Significant progress was also made in women and child safety through Operation Muskaan, cyber crime control with rapid recovery of defrauded funds, and technology-driven policing initiatives such as e-Zero FIR, ICJS, e-Office and CEIR. Recruitment drives, mental health initiatives and public safety innovations like Dial-112 and CPR training further strengthened policing capacity.
These achievements earned national recognition, positioning Madhya Pradesh Police as a model force committed to security, innovation and citizen-centric policing.
