Lahore Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Ahmed Raza Tahir said on Thursday that strict vigilance would be maintained in order to ward off possible security threats on Jummatil Widah.
The CCPO said that a high-level of preparedness and effective planning at divisional and sub-divisional levels was required to meet any emergency situation. He said that the Quick Response Force (QRF) needed to be on high alert so that policemen could perform their duties effectively.
Tahir told the divisional superintendent police (SP) to personally delegate duties to policemen at darbars and imambarghahs. The CCPO told policemen to carry out special surveillance of all hotels, bus stands and wagon stands in order to prevent any anti-state activity. He asked people to park their vehicles away from important buildings, mosques and imambarghahs. Tahir said that using metal detectors at mosques was the need of the hour.
