Additional IG Punjab Highway Patrol Shahid Hanif has initiated the inspection process to assess the performance of the force and available resources as soon as he assumes charge.

According to details, Additional IGP PHP Shahid Hanif accompanied by DIG PHP Dr Muhammad Akbar Khan visited the under construction PHP Police Lines Jia Bagga and while reviewing the construction work, issued instructions to complete the admin block by December 31.

He said the building of Police Lines should be extended to four storeys instead of three storeys so that all the offices could be accommodated under one roof and professional affairs could be carried out more expeditiously.

He said that there would be no reduction or delay in the provision of funds for the construction work and he would personally oversee all matters in this regard.

He said that he would request IG Punjab for restoration of Law and Order Allowance for the Patrolling Force so that the morale of the force would be higher and it would continue to perform its duties more diligently than before.

After the police lines, Additional IG Shahid Hanif also visited the patrolling post Jia Bagga and issued orders while inspecting the duty and building of the deployed staff.

He directed the staff to be more vigilant and on high alert to prevent traffic accidents and crimes on the highways and to further strengthen the ties between the people and the police through better conduct.

At the end of the visit, Additional IGP PHP Shahid Hanif also planted a tree under Clean and Green Pakistan at Patrolling Post Jia Bagga.
