ISLAMABAD, Jun 06 (APP): Inspector General of Police (IGP) Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi presided over a high-level meeting at the Central Police Office to review the security arrangements for Eid-ul-Adha, directing enhanced security and surveillance measures across the federal capital.
A public relations officer told APP on Friday that the meeting was attended by all DIGs, SSPs, and SPs of Islamabad Police, during which the IGP ordered the deployment of over 3,500 officers and personnel to ensure the safety and security of citizens during the Eid holidays.
IG Rizvi said the security strategy includes intensified monitoring, snap checking, and patrolling throughout the city, especially around Eid congregations, cattle markets, recreational spots, and commercial centers.
IG Rizvi said a special security plan has been formulated for Chand Raat, with particular focus on shopping areas, markets, and entry-exit points. Patrolling units will be active on foot, vehicles, and motorcycles to ensure swift responses and vigilance.
IG Rizvi said surveillance through Safe City cameras must be enhanced for effective monitoring, while all control rooms should remain fully functional with upgraded communication systems to respond to any emergencies.
IG Rizvi said help desks established to assist citizens must remain proactive and responsive, ensuring quick resolution of complaints and assistance to the public.
IG Rizvi said security at important government buildings and places of worship will remain a top priority, while surprise checkpoints will be established across different sectors of the city.
IG Rizvi said patrolling will be further strengthened by specialized units including the Dolphin Force, Ababeel Emergency Response Units, and other mobile teams to maintain a visible and effective police presence.
He said the officers must ensure discipline and performance among subordinates while also taking care of their welfare during Eid.
“Our top priority is to protect the lives and property of the citizens of Islamabad and maintain peace and order during the festivities,” IGP Rizvi added.
