Punjab Inspector General of Police Inam Ghani said that immediate solution to problems being faced by the citizens is the top priorities of the Police. Therefore, all RPOs and DPOs should start holding open courts in their respective districts and tehsils on the first working day of every month.
He said that the district police teams should conduct a massive awareness campaign through local media and cable network to inform the masses about the date, place, and location before holding open forums so that more and more people can come to these forums and get solved their problems. He further said that special attention should be paid to timely and uninterrupted holding of open forums in backward and remote areas so that problems of the poor, deserving and oppressed citizens could be resolved without any hassle. The IGP said that presence of officers and staff of all concerned units of the police in open courts should be ensured while all command officers should personally hold open forums to ensure justice to the people by ensuring solution to their problems.
He further said that the data of all the citizens appearing in open forums and the complete record of their applications should be kept regularly and if the problem is related to any other or adjoining district then the problem should be solved through mutual coordination and information sharing and relief should be provided. He sent these instructions to all RPOs, CPOs and DPOs of the province including CCPO Lahore by letter and issued orders to implement them.
