ISLAMABAD:
Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Saturday directed the
police and district administration of Rawalpindi and Islamabad to keep
the twin cities’ security on high alert, as the situation was sensitive
in the wake of the ongoing military operation in North Waziristan.
He said this while chairing a meeting of the district and police administration of the twin cities here.
The minister said the security agencies need to work beyond their call of duty and show utmost responsibility to counter any unfortunate incident.
Reviewing the overall security plan
of the twin cities, the minister said there should be flawless
coordination between the security apparatus for effectively tackling
emergency situations.
He also directed the police to further enhance their capacity through physical training and modern equipment.
The
minister directed tightened security of sensitive places. He said
surprise search operations, especially in adjoining areas of Islamabad Airport, be made more intensive.
He
said joint patrolling teams of the Rangers and police had given a sense
of security to the residents but their services need to be made more
target-oriented and effective.
