CCPO: CCPO Zulfiqar Hameed inspected the construction work on the building of Yaki Gate police station. The CCPO was informed that 75 per cent construction work on the three-storey building over two canals had been completed. The CCPO expressed dissatisfaction with the new building's design and quality of construction, saying that the architecture of the building did not meet the modern-day requirements. “Building also does not have proper lighting and ventilation” he observed. The CCPO was told that the case of shops outside the main entrance of the building was pending before a civil court. Zulfiqar Hameed directed that steps be taken to remove the injunction. “Police station is being constructed for the convenience of the citizens so toilets should be spacious and size of windows be enlarged” said the CCPO. Zulfiqar Hameed while showing his displeasure directed the officers concerned to ask the contractor to make the required changes to building within a week.
