Punjab Police ensured foolproof security measures for Christian Worship and Prayer Services held across the province.
Officers and personnel of Punjab Police performed security duties while remaining on high alert during Christian worship and prayer services held in churches across the province, including Lahore. Earlier, Inspector General of Police Punjab Abdul Kareem issued directions to RPOs, DPOs, and senior police officers to enhance security arrangements for churches. He said that supervisory officers should personally inspect the security arrangements of churches, as well as important and sensitive locations. Additional police personnel and snipers should be deployed at sensitive churches, while teams of the Dolphin Squad, PRU, and Elite Force should ensure effective patrolling around churches. IG Punjab directed that deployed police officers and personnel should remain highly alert and keep a close watch on miscreant elements. Search and sweep operations around churches, Christian localities, and sensitive locations should also continue. Abdul Kareem said that religious scholars, the Christian community, and members of peace committees should promote interfaith harmony.
