Punjab Police’s organisational
Chief minister says no outside appointments being made in police at any level
* Asks for foot patrols, promotion of security, improvement in police-public liaison
Staff Report
LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi has said the government is determined to bring about revolutionary changes in the Punjab Police without disturbing its chain of command.
A statement issued on Wednesday quoted Elahi as saying that news appearing in the press about changes in the organisational structure was disinformation and devoid of the truth. He also said no outside appointments were being made in the Punjab Police at any level.
The statement said the chief minister was addressing deputy inspectors general (DIGs) and district police officers (DPOs) of the province at the Civil Secretariat.
Elahi said improving the working of police at the police station level and changing the existing thaana culture and transforming it into a people-friendly force was the biggest challenge the government faced. A committee consisting of the Punjab inspector general of police, home secretary and DIG Javed Noor and headed by Punjab Law Minister Basharat Raja had been formed for the purpose, he said, adding that the committee would submit its report within two weeks.
The chief minister also told the administration to introduce foot patrolling to stop street crime, promote a sense of security among the public and improve police-public liaison. He told the DPOs to roam around in their respective areas to achieve the above-mentioned objectives and maintain contact with the public.
He was personally monitoring the crime situation at the district level, Elahi said, adding that he was disappointed to have received several toned down reports on crime from police. He said such reports reflected on the irresponsibility of police officers, as providing wrong facts and figures were not only against professional ethics, but also adversely affect reformation efforts.
The chief minister said the government was unsatisfied with the existing medico-legal system and had decided to change the fundamental nature of the system to ensure transparency. He said that after the changes, no party would be able to get a medical report made of its choice by pressure or influence. He said the crime rate in areas where police patrolling posts had been set up had reduced by 30 percent to 40 percent. He also said police posts were part of the Punjab Police and therefore the whole force could take credit for its success. He said it was satisfying to hear that cattle rustling incidents had decreased because of the measures taken by the Punjab Police and many cattle rustlers had been arrested. The campaign should be continued till further notice, he added.
The Punjab Police should launch a similar campaign against car lifters and arrest the thieves and recover the stolen cars, he said, adding that the Punjab Police should also regularly meet authorities concerned of other provinces in this regard.
Elahi expressed his concern over police stations being set up in tents in some areas and asked for their immediate removal, saying the government would construct new police stations. He also asked for the removal of unauthorised police pickets on roads in various cities of the province. He said a double shift system for police officials was being introduced in cities other than Lahore and Faisalabad, where the system already existed.
Elahi also praised the performance of the Muzaffargarh and Rahim Yar Khan DPOs in eradicating organised crime gangs, saying the efficiency of the police of these districts was an example for others.
