DERA GHAZI KHAN:


Former senator Jamal Leghari said on Monday on average, some 20 motorcycles were stolen in Kot Chattha police area daily and police officials had turned a blind eye to criminals in the area.


“It is wrong to tell people everything is alright when it is not,” he said. “Crime in Dera Ghazi Khan goes unchecked because of police complacency.”

Leghari was talking to newsmen after the inauguration of the Punjab Rural Roads Programme.

“As elected representatives of the people, it is difficult to tell your constituents that police department is unwilling to reform itself,” he said.

“The national assembly members and MPAs from this area are helpless against an SHO,” he said.

He said lawmakers should raise the issue of an uncooperative bureaucracy in the assembly.
