An anti-crime meeting for the Rawalpindi and Sargodha regions was held under the chairmanship of Inspector General of Police (IGP) Punjab, Dr. Usman Anwar, at the Central Police Office Punjab on Saturday. The meeting focused on reviewing the crime control, law and order, and security situations in both regions. Regional Police Officers (RPOs) of Rawalpindi and Sargodha, Babar Sarfraz Alpa and Dr. Shahzad Asif Khan, along with relevant CPOs and DPOs, participated in the meeting via video link. Dr. Usman Anwar directed that security measures for mosques, imambargahs, shrines, markets, and other important places should be intensified to ensure public safety. While he praised the Rawalpindi region for its efforts in maintaining law and order, he expressed dissatisfaction with the low rates of challaning, the arrest of proclaimed offenders, and recovery efforts in both regions. He issued a clear instruction for immediate registration of FIRs and warned against delays, directing that strict action be taken against SHOs who fail to act promptly. The IGP also tasked the RPO Rawalpindi with directly contacting complainants to verify 15 calls and submit a detailed report. He further emphasized the urgency of efforts to locate missing women and children and resolve pending rape cases. Addressing public complaints, Dr. Anwar instructed RPOs and DPOs to personally oversee the resolution of citizen complaints received through platforms like 1787, CM Portal, and others. He also directed DPOs to conduct weekly meetings with investigation officers to make progress on arresting organized gangs and proclaimed offenders.
