He also informed the people about the newly established Human Rights (HR) desk that would monitor every kind of violation and ensure protection to children, women and other segments of society. This special HR desk has been established at Central Police Office to entertain the complaints of marginalized segments of society.
Dr Temuri, who had been appointed as the IG of Islamabad police earlier this month, said that a community policing model was being developed to make the Islamabad Police a model for the rest of the country. He added that a community-police partnership system was his top priority and would engage all segments of the society, including the business community, senior citizens, students, housewives and so on.
Islamabad Police, he said, would leave no stone unturned to ensure protection to the lives and property of the minorities. The IGP stressed to promote interfaith harmony among all segments of society and said “We have to demonstrate unity and work together to counter the menace of terrorism and militancy in society.”
A committee will also be established soon to promote interfaith harmony and it would monitor the affairs related to minorities and ensure protection to them. He said that such committee had been established by him while serving as Regional Police Officer in Multan and such step would be taken here.
