Alongside the statistics on major crimes and safety of women, the state government outlined legislative plans concerning departmental staff policies and seat allocation in medical education.\n\nOverview of Major Crimes and Judicial Pendency\nReplying to a written question submitted by BJP MLA Deep Raj from Karsog, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu stated that Himachal Pradesh recorded 5,773 total cases of murder, theft, robbery, and kidnapping in the three-year period leading up to July 31, 2026. Among these registered incidents, theft cases constituted the largest share with 3,481 recorded offenses.

The majority of the cases continue to await legal resolution, with 775 rape trials currently pending in court proceedings.\n\nDistrict-Level Crime Distribution and Key Hotspots\nDistrict-wise statistics indicate that Shimla recorded the highest volume of both murder and theft cases.

Bali, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu outlined administrative measures for state employees.

The proposed uniform policy aims to standardize honorarium structures across all departments.\n\nFurthermore, the Chief Minister clarified that the state government will examine the possibility of expanding MBBS seats for Other Backward Classes (OBC) candidates.
