Islamabad: Inspector General of Police (IGP) Islamabad Qazi Jamil-ur-Rehman has directed all police officials to organise ‘open kutcheries’ in their respective areas to listen issues of people belonging to various cities of provinces and ensure immediate resolution of their problems.

According to details, Islamabad police chief directed DIG (Operations) Afzaal Ahmed Kausar to organise a programme for Zonal Police officers and interactions of SPs, SDPOs and SHOs should be ensured with people belonging to cities of various provinces.

He said that positive image of policemen should be ensured before them through unbiased approach towards anyone.

All SPs, SDPOs and SHOs are following the programme finalised by DIG (Operations) and ‘open kutcheries’ are being arranged in various areas.

Moreover, interaction with members of conciliatory committees, chambers of commerce, representatives of civil societies and notables is underway while positive response is being given by the citizens belonging to various areas and segments.

People give their recommendations for bringing improvement in policing affairs which are also being adopted by Islamabad police in their professional matters.
