In response to a recent surge in criminal activities—including mugging, theft, and extortion—police from Tongi East and West police stations conducted a joint combing operation over the past 24 hours, resulting in the arrest of 60 individuals. Of the total, 37 were detained by Tongi East Police and 23 by Tongi West Police.

Local police officials confirmed that the operation was conducted solely to apprehend criminals and was free from any political influence. Authorities also stated that such drives will continue in the coming days to restore law and order in the area.
