Protection of People’s Lives and Property Is the Foremost Priority; Immediate Relief Should Be Given to Petitioners by Holding Open Courts at Police Stations: IG Balochistan
Action Against Criminal Elements Should Be Accelerated Without Discrimination and Police Patrols Increased; Negligence in Duties Will Not Be Tolerated: Muhammad Tahir's Address at a High-Level Meeting
QUETTA (Daily Qudrat Quetta): A high-level meeting was held at the Central Police Office Quetta under the chairmanship of Inspector General of Police Balochistan Muhammad Tahir, in which DIGs of all ranges of the province and District Police Officers (DPOs) participated via video link. The meeting reviewed in detail the overall law and order situation, security arrangements, crime prevention and the performance of the force.
Addressing the meeting, the IG Police said that the protection of citizens’ lives and property and the supremacy of law are the foremost priority of Balochistan Police, for which all field officers must discharge their professional responsibilities with honesty, hard work and dedication, while an indiscriminate crackdown against anti-peace and law-breaking elements should be ensured.
Muhammad Tahir directed the officers to tighten the noose around criminal elements across the province, increase police patrols and make the security of sensitive and public places more effective. Directing that open courts (Kutchehris) be held regularly at the police station level, he said that petitioners should be dealt with courteously and their complaints redressed promptly on merit so that the relationship of trust between the people and the police is strengthened.
He directed RPOs and DPOs to hold regular police durbars and encourage personnel showing outstanding performance, and reiterated the resolve that all available resources will be utilised for establishing durable peace and the rule of law in the province.
