A performance review meeting of Civil Lines and City Divisions convened at the Capital City Police Office, chaired by Lahore Police Chief Bilal SiddiqueKamyana.
CCPO Bilal SiddiqueKamyana attributed the reduction in the provincial capital’s crime rate to the timely intervention of the police, particularly through the ‘15’ helpline. Vigorous measures are being taken against habitual and professional criminals involved in crimes such as robbery, theft, and banditry. The decline in crime is a testament to the continuous hard work and efforts of the police, with expectations of further reducing the crime graph.
