Karachi, In a major development within Punjab’s policing system, Inspector General of Police (IG) Punjab Dr. Usman Anwar chaired a key meeting to oversee the transition of police stations to the new Special Initiative Protocol. This move aims to modernize and improve police services across the province.

According to Punjab Police, the meeting, held at the Central Police Office, focused on the progress of transferring police stations to the Special Initiative Protocol, especially in Lahore.
