Security dynamic: IGP urges ‘guard, gate, gun policy’ for safety

Durrani pledges to maintain law and order in K-P on his visit to Mardan

MARDAN: IGP Nasir Durrani said consistent attempts have been made to maintain law and order in the province.

Speaking to journalists after the inauguration of a police training school in Mardan on Tuesday, Durrani urged shopkeepers, traders and the general public to take all the necessary precautions.

“I would advise people to follow the guard, gate and gun policy to prevent further loss of life,” he said. “Nearly 1,200 police personnel have sacrificed their lives to fight militancy across K-P.”



According to the IGP, police have started maintaining computerised records of criminals in the province. Durrani claimed the new system will allow police officials to easily access details about criminals and effectively conduct search operations.

The IGP also urged property owners to submit information and details of their tenants to the police to prevent an untoward situation. “Police will take action against them if they fail to do so,” he said.

Durrani added the police was taking a series of initiatives for the benefit of the people.

“We have formed reconciliation committees at the police station-level to resolve disputes,” the IGP said.

During his visit to Mardan, Durrani addressed representatives of shopkeepers and traders in the city. He also met residents of Mardan Shamsi Road and heard their grievances.
