IGP asks police to be diligent

Inspector General of Police Punjab Aamir Zulfiqar Khan has said that police service is a career in which officers and officials can “beautify this world and the hereafter by performing their duties diligently”.

He directed the young officers to make public service, open-door policy and modern policing their motto and spare no effort in protecting the lives and property of the people and eliminate crime from the society. Aamir Zulfiqar Khan said that police duty is full of challenges and only better manager proves to be successful police officer. IG Punjab said to accept the difficult posting as a challenge at the beginning of the career so that the grooming process can be improved in order to prepare for future professional difficulties and challenges.
