HYDERABAD: The policemen in Hyderabad will receive sensitisation training on new laws on the security of sensitive places, collecting information on temporary residents and sound violations.
The Hyderabad Range police officials have been asked to carry out these trainings after the promulgation of the Sindh Vulnerable Establishment Ordinance, Sindh Information of Temporary Residents Ordinance and Sindh Sound System Ordinance on March 16.
At a meeting on Friday, DIG Sanaullah Abbassi asked the SSPs to ensure proper working of the security advisory committees for the vulnerable establishments.
The seven-member committees, headed by the police sub divisional police officers, will be formed in each of the 52 police subdivisions in nine districts of Hyderabad police range.
These establishments may include places of worship, offices of government or non-governmental organisations, foreign project sites, banks, hospitals, financial institutions, recreational facilities and markets, among others.
According to DIG Abbassi, the committees will be tasked to identify such places, conduct quarterly inspections and advise their management about the security details. On the temporary residents’ ordinance, he said there will be stricter checks at hotels and hostels and regular collection of information from property dealers.
