Crime Scenario in Jammu District
Presenting an overview of the crime situation, law and order scenario, and key policing outcomes for 2025, SSP Joginder Singh said that 4,134 FIRs were registered in Jammu district—the lowest figure in the last five years.
During the same period, 5,122 cases were disposed of, including 1,968 old cases and 3,154 new cases, marking the highest disposal rate in the past five years.
