Business community is widely considered as the backbone in the development of the society and it is the top priority of the police to provide them protection and no leniency would be tolerated in this regard.

Inspector General of Police (IGP) Punjab, Aftab Sultan, expressed these views while talking to a four-member delegation of Lahore Chambers of Commerce and Industry at the Central Police Office today. The delegation comprises Vice President Mian Abuzar Shad, General Secretary Anjuman-e-Tajiran Haji Tahir Naveed, President Markazi Anjuman-e-Tajiran Misri Shah Lahore Chaudhry Shahid Hussain, and President Loha Market Misri Shah Lahore Fayyaz Hussain. DIG (Headquarters) Muhammad Amlish and DIG (Operations) Punjab Muhammad Tahir Rai were also present on this occasion.

 

The delegation requested the IGP for the availability of Mobile Learner Deriving Licenses facility at the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry for one day. The IGP Punjab told them that the department would seriously consider their request.

 

The delegation also expressed their reservations about some innocent people nominated in the Josef Colony incident. The IGP told the delegation that the investigation into that incident is being carried out purely on merit and no innocent person would be taken to task. The delegation assured the IGP full cooperation of the business community in this matter.

 

Meanwhile, the head of the delegation presented directory of the Chamber and a shield to the IGP.
