Inspector General Police Punjab Dr. Usman Anwar has said that solving the problems of citizens at the police station and circle level is our first priority and the primary duty of field officers, so all DSPs and SHOs should perform their duties with full, hard work, diligence and sincerity and leave no stone unturned in providing all possible relief to the citizens. IG Punjab said that the lack of communication with officers across the force, from DSPs and inspectors to constables, should be eliminated as best results can be achieved only through close communication between officers and subordinates. He said that when the officers and subordinates are in close contact with each other, not only there will be timely actions against the criminals but also it will be possible to ensure the immediate solution of the problems of the citizens. IG Punjab directed that all the field officers should spare no effort in serving and protecting life and property of the citizens along with maintaining law and order in the society. IG Punjab reiterated all possible measures will be taken for welfare and timely promotion of DSPs, inspectors and sub-inspectors and no slack will be left in the welfare measures.
