Lahore police have announced a 60% decline in serious crimes this year, attributing the improvement to enhanced patrolling and strict enforcement. However, the claim has drawn sharp criticism from many residents who say street crimes remain rampant.
While a few citizens acknowledged improvements in certain areas, the majority expressed skepticism, arguing that theft, robbery, and snatching incidents continue to plague the city. Social media platforms have also seen a rise in complaints contradicting the police narrative.

More concerning are allegations by some residents that certain police officers may be complicit in criminal activities, further fueling public distrust. These claims have not been officially addressed by the department.
Despite police assurances of ongoing efforts to improve law and order, most Lahorites insist the statistics do not align with everyday experiences, calling for more transparency and accountability.
