Chitral (Chitral Express): In light of special instructions from Regional Police Officer (RPO) Malakand Zahid Nawaz Marwat and orders from District Police Officer (DPO) Lower Chitral Muhammad Khalid Khan, the Lower Chitral Police have formally launched a special nighttime patrol and checking campaign across the district to maintain law and order, prevent crime, and protect the lives and property of the public.
Public complaints had been received that, late at night, some young people gather and sit in groups and clusters at various locations, causing concern and unease among local residents. Taking immediate notice of these complaints, special police patrol teams have been formed under the leadership of SDPO Chitral Circle Ahmad Isa. The teams will ensure patrols and checks on a special beat every night from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. in various sensitive areas, including Denin, Chitral Bazaar, Guldur, the old vegetable market, and the Faizabad Hoon area.
During patrols, suspicious people and vehicles will be checked, while unnecessary gatherings and individuals roaming around without reason will be closely monitored, so that any untoward incident can be prevented in a timely manner and effective action can be taken against criminal elements.
On this occasion, the police administration appealed to young people and members of the public to avoid leaving their homes after 10 p.m. without necessity and gathering in groups at various locations. Anyone going out for an extremely necessary purpose must carry identification documents (such as an identity card) and fully cooperate with police personnel during checks.
The Lower Chitral Police reiterated that they will continue to perform their duties effectively, using all available resources to address public complaints, eliminate crime, and provide citizens with a peaceful and safe environment.
