It will provide us the happiness of Allah,” the IGP added.
He said that it was a matter of satisfaction that the police officers, specially the police constables, were playing the role of vanguard with full team spirit in the war against terrorism as a result of which a number of police officers had died. He said “I salute these officers for their act of bravery. The moral of Punjab Police is very high against the war on terrorism and it is determined to eradicate the elements of terrorism and crime.”
Dogar also directed the SPs and SDPOs that they should play their active role in connection with elimination of terrorism, crime dens and provision of relief to the citizens in their respective areas, instead of sitting in their offices.
They should also carry out the patrolling of their areas and provide fool proof security cover to the sensitive points, the IGP maintained.
He said that the public should not be man-handled at police checkposts and only purposeful checking be carried out as well as grievance of the people visiting the police station be quickly redressed. pr
