Govt criticised over non-functional biometric system
The Sindh IG instructed the officials to ensure that officers and youth affiliated with the police department deployed to any security duty were given regular formal briefings regarding their responsibilities as well as information about different units and branches of CPO. They should also be apprised of the rules and regulations relating to other departments of the provincial government, he added.
The meeting also decided to formulate a committee to devise an updated draft of the Police Act, in line with the Police Act 2002. The draft would seek recommendations from the Sindh government regarding increase in rates of ticket challans and license fees. Recommendations should also be prepared based on the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Islamabad police’s Alternate Dispute Resolution Mechanism, it was decided.
