The Inspector General of Police (IG) has announced educational scholarships totaling Rs12.5 million for the children of police martyrs across various districts, including Lahore. These scholarships aim to support the higher education of the children of brave officers who lost their lives in the line of duty.
Out of the total amount, Rs2 million has been allocated specifically for the children of police martyrs from Lahore. At the same time, the remaining funds are distributed among the families of martyrs from other districts. This initiative covers various police formations, including the Punjab Highway Patrol (PHP), traffic police, special branch, Punjab Constabulary, Counter Terrorism Department (CTD), and Telecommunication units.
The IG emphasized the police department’s commitment to the welfare of its employees’ families, stating that nearly Rs1 billion will be allocated this year for the educational support of police employees’ children. This substantial investment reflects the department’s dedication to honoring the sacrifices made by police officers and ensuring their children can pursue higher education.
The scholarships are part of a broader effort to provide comprehensive support to the families of police personnel, recognizing the critical role these families play in supporting the officers’ service and sacrifices. The educational scholarships are expected to significantly ease the financial burden on the families, allowing the children to focus on their studies and future careers.
