LAHORE: Punjab Police, on the directions of Inspector General of Police Dr Usman Anwar, has finalised a comprehensive province-wide security plan for New Year Night, deploying 25,000 police officers and personnel to ensure enhanced law and order across Punjab, including more than 5,000 officers in Lahore alone.
According to a spokesperson for Punjab Police, a total of 419 Inspectors, 1,267 Sub-Inspectors, 2,189 Assistant Sub-Inspectors, 1,408 Head Constables, and 16,977 Constables and other personnel will perform security duties across the province on New Year Night. In Lahore, over 5,000 officers and personnel will be deployed. All activities in Lahore and other parts of Punjab will be monitored through CCTV cameras and the Safe City system.
The IG Punjab directed police formations to remain on high alert and maintain a close watch on anti-state elements, ensuring proactive policing throughout the night.
Dr Usman Anwar made it clear that there would be zero tolerance on New Year Night for one-wheeling, aerial firing, the display of weapons, and hooliganism. He warned that strict action would be taken against miscreants involved in harassing women and citizens, and that such elements would be sent to lockups.
The IG Punjab also ordered the police to ensure coordinated traffic arrangements across the province. He directed the Dolphin Squad, Police Response Unit (PRU), Elite Force, and Punjab Highway Patrol (PHP) to further intensify patrolling on roads and highways.
He further instructed that search and sweep operations be conducted on a regular basis in Lahore and all other cities, and that surety bonds be obtained from individuals previously identified for one-wheeling and aerial firing during last year’s celebrations.
Dr Usman Anwar said that the CCPO Lahore, RPOs, and DPOs would personally supervise all arrangements to maintain law and order. He also directed the CTO Lahore and all District Traffic Officers to deploy additional personnel to ensure smooth traffic flow.
Appealing to the public for cooperation, the IG Punjab urged citizens to report incidents of one-wheeling, aerial firing, and the display of weapons by calling 15.
