Inspector General of Police Punjab, Dr. Usman Anwar, said that Punjab Police face the challenges from external terrorists and smuggling at inter-provincial border check posts. In view of these challenges, the department is ensuring infrastructure development, provision of latest logistics, modern weapons, and thermal technology at the check posts. IG Punjab praised the personnel stationed at these posts for thwarting the enemy’s malicious plans. He highlighted that the Kot Sabzal Checkpost in Rahim Yar Khan plays a vital role in protecting citizens from honey traps and stopping the menace of smuggling. This checkpost is located on the main trade route connecting Sindh to Punjab. He added that through an extensive awareness campaign and strict monitoring, Punjab Police have saved over 470 individuals from falling victim to honey traps. Dr. Usman Anwar further said that the Dajal Checkpost in Bhakkar serves as a strong barrier against terrorism and inter-provincial trafficking.

IG directed the personnel stationed at these posts to stay highly alert and follow safety protocols, including wearing bulletproof jackets and helmets. He also praised the courage and bravery of the female officers stationed at the check posts.
