IGP Butt visited the under construction sites of police stations, including Civil Lines and women police station. The concerned police officials while briefing the inspector general said that 70 percent of construction work of Civil Lines police station could be completed due to want of funds. The government had released 60pc funds, while the remaining 40pc would be provided soon.
The IG while talking to newsmen said that construction of the building for Gwalmandi Police station was near completion and the staff had started moving there.
