Zia Lanjar inaugurates Model Police Station A Section in Nawabshah

Sindh Home Minister Zia-ul-Hassan Lanjar and Inspector General of Police (IG) Sindh Javed Alam Odho inaugurated the A-Section Police Station in Nawabshah, in the Shaheed Benazirabad range, after it was rebuilt and renovated as a model police station. They cut the ribbon together, followed by prayers, The Nation reported.

The rebuilt station has an SHO's office, a head moharrar's office, a front desk with a computer for complaints, offices for investigating officers, a lockup and a women's help desk.

Lanjar said model police stations are a crucial step towards giving citizens prompt justice and changing the traditional culture of the police. He said restoring public confidence in the police and modernising stations are among the government's priorities, and that he hopes to extend the initiative to other districts.

IG Odho said all police stations across Sindh would be upgraded into model stations in phases to restore public trust in the force. He did not give a number of stations or a timetable.

Also present were the DIG of the Shaheed Benazirabad range, Faisal Bashir Memon, Commissioner Ghulam Qadir Talpur, SSP Dr Sumair Noor Channa and Deputy Commissioner Abdul Samad Nizamani.
