Lahore, January 30, 2023 (PPI-OT):Inspector General Police Punjab Dr. Usman Anwar has said that on the order of caretaker Chief Minister Punjab Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi, historic and major decisions have been taken for the welfare of the families of police martyrs and veterans who were injured and disabled in combat with terrorists or in other field operations have been done under which they will get immediate relief and convenience. Dr. Usman Anwar issued an order to clear the pending dues of all police martyrs within a week.
He said that the widow’s allowance (Rs. 8500 per month) of the police officers who died on duty is very insufficient in the current economic situation, so it is necessary to increase the widow’s allowance to make it equal to the minimum government approved wage of 25,000. It has been decided to reduce their economic problems. IG Punjab said that the widow’s allowance of police employees who died before ten years of service will also be increased.
It has been decided to make it equal to the sanctioned wages of the deceased and the widows of such employees will continue to receive regular allowances till the retirement age of the deceased is going on and it has been decided to give 10 additional marks during the departmental recruitment process to all children of police martyrs appearing on open merit.
IG Punjab said that if seat is not available in the concerned district for recruitment on Shaheed quota, then the child of the martyr should be recruited immediately in any other district of the province where seat is available. IG Punjab said that the children of the martyrs should be given full support for admission in the best schools, colleges and universities and in this regard the RPOs and DPOs should contact the families of the martyrs themselves.
IG Punjab directed that all possible relief should be provided to the families of the police martyrs and that they should not at any point feel that they are alone or abandoned. IG Punjab said that the medical claims of police veterans should be cleared immediately while priority will be given to veterans in posting transfer.
Dr. Usman Anwar said that a special package is being worked on for all those Ghazis who have become completely disabled and are unable to even get up from bed. IG Punjab said that the package of the martyrs who had an on-duty accident is being revised and the families of such martyrs will be given full salary.
IG Punjab said that a decision will be taken to increase the financial package of brave soldiers of the police who become disabled in the line of duty and fighting anti-social elements and in this regard DIG Establishment, DIG Operations and DIG A three-member committee has been formed, which will prepare its recommendations in seven days and present them in the next meeting of the executive board.
Dr. Usman Anwar said that in the sacred duty of protecting the life and property of the people the brave martyrs and ghazis who sacrificed their lives are proud of me and deserve exemplary respect and all possible relief. IG Punjab said that the police martyrs have secured the future of the nation by sacrificing their blood, similarly, the services of police veterans are also eternal and can never be forgotten.
