Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary announced on May 11, 2026, that police forces in the state will have the authority to take decisive action against criminals, with a commitment to respond within 48 hours. This approach emphasizes that no criminal will be spared, regardless of their caste or religion, as part of efforts to maintain law and order in Bihar. Choudhary's statement follows a major bureaucratic reshuffle, including the transfer of 11 IAS and 16 IPS officers, aimed at improving governance. The Chief Minister made these remarks during the inauguration of a road named after the father of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president Nitin Nabin in Patna. He highlighted the importance of good governance in attracting industries to the state and announced the launch of the Sahyog Helpline Number 1100 and the Sahyog Portal to resolve public grievances.
