The Punjab Police, in an interesting step, has vowed to implement a policy of ‘no check posts’ apart from inter-provincial and inter-district ones.
Pakistan’s biggest police force is hoping to use technology for observation and checking of criminals rather than the conventional manual method.
Arif Nawaz Khan, Punjab Inspector General of Police on Tuesday at Central Police Office (CPO) while leading a high-level meeting issued directives to rollback all check posts and also directed the timely implementation of new SOPs for the monitoring of vehicles and citizens.
He added that CCTV cameras should be used for monitoring purposes instead of police barriers and check posts, and police officers should engage in operational activities not standing at check posts.
