The proclaimed offenders are a potential threat to peace : RPO Bahawalpur

Lahore : Regional Police Officer Bahawalpur Dr. Ehsan Sadiq has summoned all SDPOs to explain their position for their laxity in curbing the menace of:- Brothel houses, Narcotics and Gambling dens in their respective Jurisdictions. He issued these directions during a high-level meeting to review the crime figures which was held in his office here today.

RPO showed serious concerns regarding the slackness of concerned police officers in roping in the proclaimed offenders who are a potential threat to peace and tranquility of society. Strict, effective and vigorous drive must be launched to arrest all the proclaimed offenders of the region by mobilizing all available resources, he noted.

RPO Dr. Ehsan Sadiq said that emerging modern complex and industrialized society warrants a "paradigm shift" in police culture. He called upon all police officers to discard the decadent mindset of policing and adhere to community policing approach to deliver criminal justice at police stations. He directed SDPOs to initiate a new drive to check the rising crime of gambling, prostitution and selling of narcotics in the region.
