The Punjab Police is the law enforcement agency for the state of Punjab in India. It is responsible for maintaining law and order, preventing and detecting crime, and providing security to the citizens of Punjab.
Bhagwant Singh Mann, born on 17 October 1973, is the 17th and current Chief Minister of Punjab from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), having assumed office on 16 March 2022 after AAP’s landslide victory in the state elections. A former comedian and actor, Mann previously served as Member of Parliament from Sangrur (2014–2022) before moving to state politics. His swearing-in at Bhagat Singh’s ancestral village, Khatkar Kalan, symbolized his party’s promise of clean governance and people-centric leadership. Since taking charge, he has focused on tackling corruption, improving education and healthcare, addressing farmers’ and youth issues, and reviving Punjab’s economy, though challenges like high state debt and delivery on reforms continue to test his administration.
