Lahore: Regional Police Officer Bahawalpur Dr. Ehsan Sadiq has directed SHO Haroonabad to recover immediately a missing police official. Besides, He has suspended a traffic police inspector over laxity in performing his duties.
RPO issued these directions during an open Kachehri which was held in Haroonabad.
“On the occasion an old woman complained that her son who is a police official was kidnapped a year ago. The concerned SHO has failed to recover her son and was using delaying tactics”, the lady alleged. RPO took strict action on her complaint and sort report from the concerned SHO and directed him to recover the missing person within 10 days.
On the public complaints RPO suspended traffic police inspector as well. “Modern policing is linked with mitigating “trust deficit” between citizenry and police and only community policing can build bridges between all segments of society and police”, he noted.
RPO maintained that the permanent feature of open kachehries is a practical manifestation of community policing which brings citizenry and police together. Later, RPO mixed with the participants. He himself went to the sitting seats of the participants, inquired of their problems and issued directions on the spot.
Earlier RPO Dr. Ehsan Sadiq issued stunning directions to launch strict crack-down against all gambling and narcotics dens, brothel houses and called upon all SHOs to wipe out these dens before the commencement of the Holy month of Ramzan.
