LAHORE: Capital City Police Officer Lahore Bilal Siddique Kamyana has ordered a crackdown on the public display of armed gunmen and the menace of ‘Dala Culture’ to impress others. He directed this while chairing a meeting at his office to review the monthly performance of Civil Lines and Model Town police divisions.
The CCPO directed DIG (Operations) to initiate wide-ranging operations to eliminate the unlawful presence of armed individuals and suppress elements involved in promoting a culture of intimidation and lawlessness.
Emphasizing the importance of targeted action against narcotics, he instructed officials to backtrack drug-related cases to uncover and dismantle larger smuggling networks. “There must be no leniency towards drug dealers. Tracing their links is crucial for long-term results,” he stated.
He also stressed the need for efficient public service at police front desks, ensuring all applications are addressed promptly. “Officers must maintain direct contact with complainants to guarantee timely and impartial justice,” he added.
To combat street crime, the CCPO ordered intensified patrolling in hotspot areas and the full utilization of the police’s surveillance software Hotel Eye to monitor suspicious activities.
In light of security challenges, he further directed that preventive measures be strengthened at banks, commercial centers and other locations across the city.
The meeting was attended by DIG (Admin) Imran Kishwar, DIG (Investigation) Zeeshan Raza, DIG (Operations) Faisal Kamran, SSP (Investigation) Muhammad Naveed, along with SPs, ASPs, Circle Officers, SHOs, and Investigation Incharges from Civil Lines and Model Town Divisions.
