Islamabad:Inspector General of Police (IGP) Islamabad, Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi, conducted a series of late-night inspections across the federal capital to oversee security, traffic management, and public facilitation measures.

During his visit to police help desks situated in various commercial centers, the IGP reviewed the quality of services provided to the public and assessed the effectiveness of ongoing security and traffic arrangements in high-traffic areas.

While addressing officers on site, Rizvi issued directives to ensure that all personnel perform their duties with diligence and provide timely guidance to citizens. He specifically emphasised the importance of maintaining a smooth flow of traffic and organizing effective parking arrangements within major markets.

In addition to his field inspections, the IGP attended a Khatm-e-Quran gathering at the Police Lines Headquarters on the 27th night of Ramazan, accompanied by DIG Headquarters Malik Jameel Zafar.

The event included special prayers for national stability and peace, as well as a tribute to the martyrs of the Islamabad Police. IGP stated that the sacrifices made by these officers are a source of national pride and will continue to be honored by the department. Following the ceremony, the IGP visited several mosques to monitor security during Taraweeh prayers and encouraged on-duty officers to maintain a high level of dedication.

The official also reaffirmed his commitment to administrative transparency by holding an open court under the department’s "Open Door Policy." During this session, he heard grievances from both citizens and police officials, issuing immediate orders for their resolution. He instructed concerned officers to address all complaints strictly on merit and within the prescribed timeframe, requiring a subsequent report to be submitted to the Central Police Office.

Rizvi concluded by reminding the public that his office remains accessible to any citizen seeking assistance, underscoring the department’s focus on prompt and merit-based problem-solving.

The IGP reaffirmed that the protection of life and property remains the foremost priority of the Islamabad Police, noting that the entire force is actively engaged in achieving this objective through dedicated service.
