The Punjab government has decided to set up Forensic Satellite Centre (FSC) in Rawalpindi to for speedy checking of evidence in heinous and terror related crimes.
Following the approval of the project by Punjab Home Department, the district government has been directed to provide five-kanal land for establishment of FSC.
Sources said that evidences in respect of heinous crimes and terror related incidents are sent to forensic laboratory located in Lahore to obtain forensic report. This way the reports are delayed and the concerned quarter has to face difficulties in achieving desired results.
Sources said Rawalpindi centre will be linked to Lahore Headquarters. FSC will be established in districts Attock, Chakwal and Jhelum as well and these will be attached with Rawalpindi centre.
