‘Construction of 39 smart police stations near completion’

LAHORE:The construction of 39 smart police stations across Punjab is nearing completion, with rapid progress reported.

IG Punjab stated that 22 smart police stations in Lahore’s densely populated areas are in the final stages, with over 95% of civil work completed and interior finishing underway. In Multan, three smart police stations have been fully completed.

All smart police stations will operate under the special initiative police station protocol and SOPs. A Punjab Police spokesperson added that constructing 10 smart police stations on government land will save millions annually. Previously, stations in areas such as Sanda, Millat Park, Gujjarpura, and Kot Lakhpat operated from rented buildings, incurring high costs.
