Employment opportunities for youths will bring down crimes and the police in Maharashtra's Palghar district are doing their bit by organising a job fair, said a senior official from the department on Saturday.

Addressing a gathering during their 'Jana Samparka Abhiyan', a public outreach programme, at Wada, Superintendent of Police Balasaheb Patil said cops often come across many educated persons who have turned to crime after failing to find jobs.
