The spokesman said Superintendent of Police (SPs) Saddar Capt (Retd) Hamza Hamayun had met the members of members of all the reconciliation committees of Saddar zone's police stations at Ramna PS along with the concerned Sub-Divisional Police Officers and Station House Officers.

During the meeting, he said the SP called for induction of active members of business community, lawyers, scholars and media representatives in the reconciliation committees to ensure redressal of the public issues on merit basis.
