Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has announced that the Rajanpur Kacha operation has successfully cleared the area of dacoits, restoring the writ of the state and bringing long-awaited relief to local communities. She stated that the Rajanpur Kacha operation achieved one hundred percent success after a decisive and carefully planned security campaign.
Speaking at a high-level meeting on the operation, Maryam Nawaz said the operation targeted criminal groups that had effectively created a “state within a state.” According to her, these gangs spread fear across the region, used honey traps, and kidnapped innocent citizens. The operation was designed to end this climate of terror once and for all.
Dacoits Had Created Fear and Lawlessness in Kacha Area
During the briefing, the chief minister highlighted that modern technology played a central role in the Rajanpur Kacha operation. Security forces used advanced surveillance systems, human intelligence, and drone cameras to track every movement of the dacoits. This integrated approach made the Rajanpur Kacha operation precise and effective while protecting civilian lives.
She confirmed that the Pakistan Army provided crucial support to police and law enforcement agencies during the Rajanpur Kacha operation. She also appreciated the role of the Punjab Police, calling their coordination and professionalism a key factor in the success of the operation. The chief minister extended special thanks to the Sindh Police and the Sindh government for their full cooperation across provincial borders.
Maryam Nawaz stated that as a result of the Rajanpur Kacha operation, more than 500 dacoits surrendered to authorities. She emphasized that no casualties occurred during the operation, which she described as a major achievement given the region’s history of violent crime. The Rajanpur Kacha operation transformed an area once known for fear into a zone governed by law.

She added that the Rajanpur Kacha operation restored government control in both Rajanpur and the surrounding Kacha belt. According to her, residents can now live without fear, businesses can reopen, and development projects can move forward. The return of peace will also help improve education, healthcare, and economic activity in the region.
The chief minister warned that there would be zero tolerance for anyone attempting to challenge the state’s authority again. She made it clear that after the Rajanpur Kacha operation, dacoits have no safe havens left. She reaffirmed the government’s commitment to sustained monitoring so criminal networks cannot regroup.
Security experts say the Rajanpur Kacha operation represents a turning point in Punjab’s internal security strategy. By combining technology, intelligence sharing, and inter-provincial coordination, the operation set a new standard for tackling organized crime in difficult terrain. Analysts believe the success of the Rajanpur Kacha operation will serve as a model for similar actions in other vulnerable areas.
In her closing remarks, Maryam Nawaz said Punjab is now safer than before and credited the bravery of security forces for this achievement. She stressed that peace and law enforcement remain top priorities for her government. With the Rajanpur Kacha operation complete, she said the focus will now shift to long-term stability, development, and the permanent elimination of criminal influence from the region.
