LAHORE, Feb 20 (MILLAT): Inspector General of Police (IGP)
Punjab Mushtaq Ahmad Sukhera has directed to thoroughly check
all vehicles, motorcycles and persons crossing the inter-
provincial check-posts, and take prompt action against persons
unable to prove their identity.
Chairing a high-level meeting held at Central Police
Office (CPO) here on Monday, he said that daily briefing of
staff should be ensured regarding the search of vehicles and
people, especially to the officials working on check-posts of
Attock, Mianwali, Bhakar and Rawalpindi.
The IGP said that officials serving on all such check-
posts should be sensitized about importance of their duty and
they should be realized that even their little negligence could
cause huge disaster that was why they should carefully check
all vehicles, motorcycles and persons passing through these
check-posts.
Directing AIG Complaints, the IGP said that strict action
should be taken against the DSPs and SHOs who did not contact
the complainant in time in response to the complaints
registered through 8787 Complaint Center. Whereas, action
should also be taken against the officers who, instead of
personally contacting the complainant, asked their assistant or
reader to respond, he added.
The provincial police chief directed the AIG Complaints
to personally monitor the progress on complaints received
through 8787 on daily basis and a weekly performance report
should be submitted to him.
Briefing the meeting, Additional IGP PHP Amjad Javed
Saleemi said that 31 stolen vehicles and motorcycles were
recovered during checking on inter-provincial check-posts from
the period of 1st of January to 19th of February. One most-wanted
criminal was also arrested at Mianwali check-posts.
He said that all inter-provincial check-posts were being
monitored online in Central Police Office where the
performance of officials and their behaviour with public was
particularly monitored. This was why there were very little
complaints against personnel deployed on these check-posts, he
added.
