GURUGRAM: Haryana police and administrative officers have been directed to ensure chargesheets in cases concerning offences against Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are filed within the prescribed 60 days, following a state review on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. The direction applies across Haryana, including Gurugram, and puts investigation monitoring and delayed cases back under scrutiny.

For residents along Sohna Road and in other Gurugram neighbourhoods following such complaints, the relevant change is the renewed demand for full compliance with the filing period. The review also sought closer supervision of police stations reporting more cases. No Gurugram specific case total, police station ranking or list of local officers facing action was released in the accounts checked.

What officers have been asked to do

Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini chaired the State Level Vigilance and Monitoring Committee meeting in Chandigarh. It reviewed implementation of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, and the Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955. Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Krishan Kumar Bedi attended the review.

The chief minister asked officials to achieve chargesheet filing within 60 days in every applicable case. This was an instruction to improve compliance with the prescribed period, rather than an announcement that every criminal investigation in Haryana now has an identical deadline. The reviewed accounts concern the handling of SC/ST related cases.

Senior officers have been appointed as nodal officers at district and subdivision levels to follow investigation progress and timely disposal. Regular meetings at those levels were also sought. For Gurugram, this makes the progress of individual investigations part of a wider district monitoring system, although the reports do not identify the city's designated nodal officers.

Districts with relatively high numbers of cases are to receive special drives and detailed reviews. Officials were asked to examine the reasons behind repeated incidents, assess local conditions and take corrective measures. Police stations with more such cases are to be identified separately for closer supervision by senior officers.

The directions also call for stronger police activity at sensitive locations and priority attention to long pending cases. These measures address different stages of the process: prevention, investigation and disposal. The review does not supply a new Gurugram deployment map or name neighbourhoods that have been classified as sensitive.

Five proposed courts, statewide figures

The chief minister directed that special courts be established in Hisar, Faridabad, Palwal, Rohtak and Bhiwani to speed hearings. Gurugram is outside that list of five districts. Residents should therefore distinguish the statewide police instructions from the proposed court expansion elsewhere; this meeting does not announce a new special court in Gurugram.

  • Review date: November 11, 2026, in Chandigarh.
  • Filing instruction: compliance with the prescribed 60 day period.
  • Monitoring: senior nodal officers at district and subdivision levels.
  • Proposed special courts: five named districts.
  • Relief and rehabilitation reported for 2026-27 so far: Rs 13.49 crore for 1,046 beneficiaries.

Director General of Police Ajay Singhal told the meeting that cases concerning SC/ST communities had fallen by approximately 28% in the state. The accounts checked do not provide a Gurugram breakdown or the underlying comparison table. The percentage should consequently be treated as the DGP's statewide statement, rather than a measured fall in cases within this city.

The meeting was also informed that action had been taken against 10 police personnel for negligence in securing justice for victims. It did not identify these personnel as Gurugram officers. Nor do the accounts establish that the action against all 10 was taken on the day of the review.

Relief payments and the next steps

Officials reported Rs 13.49 crore in relief and rehabilitation assistance for 1,046 people affected by atrocities during the current financial year so far. These are Haryana totals. The review also recorded Rs 10.45 crore in assistance to 418 beneficiaries under the Mukhyamantri Samajik Samrasta Antarjatiya Vivah Shagun Yojana, a separate scheme.

The figures describe assistance already reported to the meeting, not a new application window or a uniform payment promised to every complainant. The next administrative steps are closer case monitoring, regular reviews and progress on the five proposed courts. No commencement date or opening time in IST for those courts was given.

The official Haryana Police information page explains the department's public mandate. Related local coverage includes the district legal aid campaign, the separate missing minor investigation directive and the traffic staff supervision order. Each concerns a distinct administrative measure.
