Paramilitary forces on July 19 urged improvement of security
measures in the areas of Chakwal,
Attock and Rawalpindi Districts,
which fall along the NATO
supply routes, reported The
Express Tribune. Fearing
militant attacks on NATO containers
in these areas, the spy agency
of the Punjab Police urged
law enforcers to take extra
measures to beef up security
for the convoys. Following
the report submitted by the
Rawalpindi Superintendent
of Police’s Special Branch,
the Government of Punjab has
directed the commissioner
of Rawalpindi division to
take necessary measures to
beef up security.
Furthermore, on July 17, the district heads of Rawalpindi,
Chakwal and Attock directed
the concerned areas’ superintendents
and station house officers
to take necessary steps to
ensure the security of the
containers and their drivers.
According to the report available,
district heads have asked
the Police to be extra mindful
of security on the Attock,
Chakwal and Rawalpindi passages,
since there has been a history
of attacks on these locations. |
