Meanwhile, DGP Suresh Arora has directed all SHOs, DSPs/ACPs, SPs/ADCPs and senior officers posted in the districts to be present at the stations and not to leave the stations without the prior permission of the competent authority.
The DGP has also directed all zonal IGPs and commissioners of police to work out a scheme to ensure regular presence of police personnel in all police stations and police posts in the state, especially at night time, to ensure 24x7 availability of police for prompt support and response to citizens.
Announcing this here on Friday, a Punjab Police spokesman said that on the DGP’s directions, all zonal IGPs and commissioners of police had been asked to prepare a night policing plan for the districts/ areas in their jurisdiction. Zonal IGPs and CPs would send daily reports to the DGP about details of static and mobile police deployment during night. The night-time police deployment would be checked by deputing senior police officers from police headquarters on a regular basis.
