During the meeting, IGP Imam said that security concerns were a growing international issue faced by all countries in regard to their geographical position and challenges, therefore, every possible measure should be taken to elimate security breaches.
“A WhatsApp group should be established through which police, Rangers and others law enforcement agencies could coordinate for the enhancement of security measures and respond effectively in case of emergencies,” he added as a suggestion.
Moreover, all diplomats were assured that security measures were being increased for the protection of foreign missions in the country.
