Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif presided over a meeting to review law and order situation in the committee room at Police Training College Chung. IG Police gave a comprehensive briefing about the law and order situation in the province. Steps being taken for bringing improvements in the Police and prosecution departments were reviewed during the meeting.
The Chief Minister said, “There is no room for anti-social and criminal elements in Punjab. The criminal gangs will be crushed with an iron hand in the Katcha area. There is no mercy and leniency for the Katcha dacoits. We will provide the latest equipment and ammunition to the police in the Katcha area. We will provide all resources to the Police as crime has to be stamped out from the province under any circumstance. Important postings will only be assigned to the honest and bold police officers.
A special cell will be established to undertake third party monitoring of the police. Educated youths will be appointed investigation officers. We strictly adhere to our zero-tolerance police on narcotics and will also establish a special force in this regard. We will nab every influential and minor person found involved in drug peddling. The parents of a child getting addicted to narcotics go through traumatic conditions. ‘Combing Operation’ will continue to identify anti-social elements in Punjab. The scope of digital monitoring through cameras will be extended across Lahore.
