Illegal business on private loans is a chronic issue in D I Khan: DPO said
District Police Officer (DPO) Muhammad Shoaib Khan on Monday said the department was committed to protecting the lives and property of the citizens.
The newly appointed police chief stated this during an introductory meeting with local journalists at Ejaz Shaheed Police Lines.
“The Dera Police would be taken in a striking position against all the crimes,” he said.
He said the stereotype ‘Thana-culture’ would be ended and a public-friendly atmosphere would be provided at all police stations so that the people could approach not only the police stations but also the officers’ offices without hesitation.
The confidence of the people would be improved in the department. Shoaib said the concept of getting FIRs registered over false claims would be ended as 60 to 70 percent of cases based on false claims.
“Nobody would be allowed to consider the police as a tool against his opponent”, he said.
Moreover, he sought public support in eliminating crimes from society.
The people should support the police by pointing out any anti-social activity around them as it could also spoil their children.
He said the police personnel should keep the culture of local people in their minds for successful policing.
During the meeting, the journalists pointed out different issues being faced by the people in the area including traffic issues, illegal business of interest on private loans, presence of immoral dens in some specific areas.
