New Delhi
Baijal called a meeting on Thursday to review law and order in the national capital and asked for increased police presence in crime-hit areas. "Delhi Police to take steps to increase prosecution & conviction rates to ensure law and order," he tweeted.
Petty crimes and snatchings have spiralled in the national capital, ever since Delhi decided to open up. Apart from cases of snatchings and robberies, there were 2,205 cases of heinous crimes in Delhi till May-end.

The review meeting on the law and order comes around 50 days ahead of the Independence Day on August 15.
