It is a disturbing fact that any initiative taken by the police to facilitate the public has never been properly implemented due to lack of will or resources.
The same is the condition of reporting rooms, as stated in news reports, which were established by Punjab police to assist the public. There were reporting rooms established in more than 70 police stations and were meant to assist the public when they approached the police.
Due to negligence and lack of resources, this system has been disowned. The police are here to serve the public and it is in public interest that this procedure of having reporting rooms is adopted and maintained.
