Punjab's law enforcement authorities have made significant strides by redistributing recovered items worth more than Rs 13 crores back to their rightful owners. Among the reclaimed properties are vehicles, jewelry, and other valuables accumulated from over 583 cases registered in Jalandhar over the year.

Furthermore, the initiative has led to over 100 misplaced smartphones, valued at Rs 22 lakhs, being returned via the CEIR portal. These efforts, praised by Punjab's Director General of Police, Gaurav Yadav, signify the department's dedication to upholding citizen trust and security.
