In this episode of Edhar Kidhar, Harshdeep Singh and Sarabjeet Singh discuss the Punjab Government’s latest “tough on crime” stance and the launch of Operation Prahaar, which has been described by the Punjab Police leadership as a one-of-its-kind operation.

We break down what tough on crime actually means in practice — beyond press conferences and slogans — and ask an important question:
Does visible toughness automatically build public trust, or can it sometimes do the opposite?

The discussion focuses on why policing alone is not enough unless the state and police are able to win the confidence of ordinary citizens. We talk about how trust, cooperation, and transparency play a critical role in tackling crime — especially in a state dealing with fear, extortion threats, and rising anxiety among businesses.

We also examine the idea of over-policing — how excessive or unbalanced enforcement can carry its own consequences, including fear, alienation, and reduced public cooperation, even when intentions are genuine.

In the final segment, we look inward at Punjab’s pop culture — music, social media, and public narratives — and how the glorification of gangsters, crime, and defiance of authority shapes public perception, especially among the youth. Can law enforcement succeed if culture keeps pulling in the opposite direction?

This episode is not about opposing action against crime.
It is about asking what kind of action actually builds long-term safety and trust.
