Police had devised a comprehensive plan to ensure foolproof security across the district:DPO Dr Akhtar Abbas
BAHAWALPUR(By Our Staff Reporter)DPO Dr Akhtar Abbas said that police had devised a comprehensive plan to ensure foolproof security across the district. He added that 250 mourning processions and 575 Majalis would be held on 10th of Muharram, adding that all these gatherings would be guarded by more than 2,000 policemen. Volunteers would also be there to assist cops, the DPO added.
He ordered all the SDPOs and SHOs to make all-out efforts to implement the security plan to maintain peace. No negligence on the part of the officials would be tolerated, the DPO warned. Mr Akhtar Abbas asked the SDPOs and SHOs to ensure 100 percent attendance of the officials. He advised the officers to make collective efforts for peace maintenance in collaboration with peace committees and the business community. The officers were also asked to seal the routes of processions with barbed wires. People participating in processions must be frisked, the DPO said and adding lady police officials should be deployed at Majalis for women. The DPO asked the officers to deal sternly with those involved in using loud speakers, wall chalking, distributing hate material, delivering hate speeches, displaying arms and aerial firing.
