Punjab Police ensured foolproof security arrangements for christian worship & prayer programs across the province

 

On the directions of Inspector General of Police Punjab, Dr. Usman Anwar, Punjab Police remained on high alert and performed security duties during Christian worship and prayer programs in churches across the province including Lahore. Earlier, the IG Punjab had issued orders to RPOs and DPOs to enhance the security of churches. He said that supervisory officers should personally inspect the security arrangements of churches and other important places. Additional police personnel and snipers should be deployed at sensitive churches, while Dolphin Squad, PRU, and Elite Force teams should ensure effective patrolling around churches. IG Punjab directed that the deployed police officers and personnel remain extremely alert and keep a close watch on mischievous elements. Search and sweep operations around churches, Christian localities, and sensitive places should also continue to maintain law and order. Dr. Usman Anwar said that religious scholars, members of the Christian community, and peace committees should promote interfaith harmony.
