The Information Minister said that there has been a significant decrease in crime rates in Punjab, especially a 68% decline in Lahore, which has been declared safer than many international cities. No crimes were reported in Chakwal, Bhulwal, and Hafizabad in the last two days, although a burglary occurred in Gujrat yesterday.
