A ‘strategy’ for dealing with the upcoming Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf’s Azadi march on Aug 14 was evolved on Wednesday during two meetings addressed by two top Punjab government officials separately and attended by all regional and district field officers.
Though all regional commissioners, district coordination officers, regional and district police officers were called to discuss security arrangements for Ramazan bazaars, Jumatul Wida, Chand Raat, Eidul Fitr, Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and terrorism threats, the chief secretary informed that field formations would be given necessary direction and government policy to ‘tackle’ the PTI.
The provincial police chief, in another meeting with his field officers at the Central Police Office after the first meeting, gave general policing directions.
