LAHORE - Punjab Inspector General of Police (IGP) Rao Sardar Ali Khan Thursday said that prevention of crimes against women and children was among top priorities of Punjab police. “Effective use of modern technology and all possible steps are being taken in this regard,” he said and added that women could get police help in case of any emergency with just one click through the woman safety application across the province.
He said that ‘anti women harassment and violence cells’ had also been set up in all the districts of the province to facilitate the victims. “These cells are ensuring speedy investigations of cases in such crimes.” The IGP added that a database of habitual offenders in crimes against women and children was being prepared so the criminals involved in such cases could be closely monitored.
