Aizawl: The crime rate continue to go downhill in Mizoram, which police officials attributed to the round-the-clock surveillance, coupled with active cooperation from NGOs.

The months of April, May and June this year have seen a 12.05 per cent decline in crime rate, compared to the corresponding period last year, DIG (Northern Range) L Hrangnawna said at a crime review meeting at the police headquarters here on Friday. Mizoram police have registered 686 cases (442 IPC cases and 244 non-IPC cases) during April-June this year, as against 780 (544 IPC cases and 236 non-IPC cases) during the corresponding months last year. Addressing the review meeting, Hrangnawna said, the decline in crime rate is attributed to hard work and dedication of the police and good co-operation from the general public. Except Saiha district in southern Mizoram and Mamit district in western Mizoram, which have witnessed a 11.76 per cent increase and 12.00 per cent increase respectively, all other districts have seen decline in crime rate with Lawngtlai district being the lowest at 63.16 per cent decline.
