The district-wide grand security drive was initiated on the direct orders of the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Islamabad to ensure foolproof security in the city. The operations were executed under the direct supervision of respective zonal SPs within the jurisdictions of several key police stations, including Sihala, Shalimar, Aabpara, Khanna, Shahzad Town, Golra, and Noon.
