0% A crime 11 years ago... a murder that changed the life of a village and turned it into a tourist attraction

A murder took place in 2011 in an Indian village, where 6 people killed a man. At that time, the village ignited with quarrels and disputes that resulted in the burning and destruction of homes, and the arrest of the killers and a number of rioters.

In the depths of the crisis, the "Panchayat", which are village councils made up of village elders and dignitaries who decide on disputes between individuals, that are not legally recognized but have great influence, have taken a decision to control the situation in the village of "Kiolajhir" and oath to prevent crimes and transform the village into a crime-free village. 100%, or 0% crime.

Since 2011, the Indian police have not registered any crime or official complaint in this village, which is run by the "Panchayat", as they have established a system that prevents any crisis or problem in the village from reaching a crime, where disputes and problems are adjudicated in a customary manner, without the intervention of state agencies.

The village was honored by declaring "Keulajhir" a crime-free village by the Shahpur Police Station, where the village has turned into a tourist attraction for citizens from all over India to see the way things are going in it, and to see the village that has been free of crimes for 11 years on the ground.

The village of "Pacha Petul", I heard about the experience of the village of "Kyulajhir" in its infancy, so it sent a delegation to see the system of the conduct of things there, and then began to apply it to them, which also became a model for 0% crime.

The Panchayat management system for some villages raises concerns, especially because of its great influence away from the control of the state, whereby penalties and fines are imposed on anyone who violates its system and orders, away from state control.

Many of the crimes of rape of women and the manner in which the “Panchayat” dealt with them raised many question marks about the role of these councils, especially since their rulings in these crimes came in the interest of the perpetrators and not the victims, in addition to their exercise of authority outside the authority of the state without oversight, which is what It raised many fears of the absence of the state in its areas of control.
