General Law and Order

The District Kanshiram Nagar is quiet peaceful with no records of any major break

down of Law and Order. It was formerly part of district Etah.

The remote areas of Tehsil patiyali spans most of the ganga katari area and was

dacoits-infested earlier, but now-a-days it is very normal due to developement of roads

and location of new Bastis etc.

Political acridity is very high in Assembly Constitueny of Patiyali. This area is

very sensitive due to in-fighting over small issues. Ganjdundwara is most sensitive area

due to communal acridity. Over than hundred persons were killed in BABARI MASZID

sectarian riots in 1990 in Ganjdundwara town area. No major incidents of such kind have

been recently recorded in the district since then.

Main concern in district Kanshiram Nagar is that many town areas have mixed

population of Hindu and Muslims.
