The establishment of a monitoring cell to scrutinize the performance, of policemen deployed at pickets throughout Islamabad, is a positive development. It was being reported that the staff at these check posts were being bribed, to allow entry of trucks without permit. The placing of these pickets and checkpoints is for the specific reason of preventing terrorist related activities. Any slackness on behalf of the staff present, can lead to serious repercussions, resulting in serious loss of life and damage to property. It is heartening to know that the department of police has taken an initiative to monitor and evaluate their performance.
