Zirakpur is a safe zone for criminals due to three reasons
Zirakpur is becoming a safe place for criminals, there are three main reasons for this. One is the location of the area is very good. On one side is Punjab, on the other side is Haryana and on the third side is Himachal. In such a situation, it is easy for criminals to escape from here. Secondly, there are a large number of flats built here, where people easily get flats on rent.
Thirdly, since most of the people are working, no one keeps an eye on the criminals. In many cases, the landlords do not even get the police verification of such people done. If we talk about the last one year, many notorious criminals have been caught not only by the police of Punjab but also by the police of Delhi, Haryana and Uttarakhand.
