Islamabad, 13 Oct 2023: A pivotal meeting between Islamabad Industrial Association and Islamabad Capital City Police Officer (ICCPO) Dr Akbar Nasir Khan unveiled plans for heightened security in key industrial areas, as per details released by Islamabad Capital Police. The meeting underscored a collective commitment to ensuring a robust and secure business environment, announcing the implementation of advanced security measures, including the deployment of additional special police officers and the installation of a sophisticated surveillance system in various sectors.
The association’s delegation visit to the Central Police Office facilitated constructive discussions on imminent security decisions for the business fraternity, particularly focusing on Sectors I-10 and I-9 and the encompassing industrial area. To augment the safety of these sectors, high-tech surveillance cameras will be installed on all internal and external routes, with integration into the Safe City Islamabad centralized system, enhancing the ability to monitor and respond to incidents in the area efficiently.
In a concerted effort to ensure peace and deter potential criminal activities within the industrial area, 30 special police officers will be newly deployed. In support of this initiative, the Islamabad Industrial Association will provide 10 motorcycles to special police officers, thus bolstering the patrol squad’s mobility and presence in the region.
Emphasizing the importance of meticulous security near financial institutions and high-value stores, special cameras will be installed outside banks, money changers, jewelry stores, and key buildings. This enhancement is aimed at bolstering security provisions in areas with elevated susceptibility to illicit activities. Stakeholders have also been prompted to reinforce their security arrangements by engaging private security guards, ensuring a multilayered security approach.
In a move aimed at consolidating community engagement and facilitating the business community further, a community center will be established within the office of the DPO Industrial Area. This initiative is poised to offer a conducive environment for interaction and collaboration among the business community and security authorities.
Expressing appreciation for the structured and proactive approach towards fostering a secure business environment, the Islamabad Industrial Association extended its gratitude to ICCPO Dr. Akbar Nasir Khan, recognizing his unwavering commitment to safeguarding and nurturing a prosperous context for businesses within the industrial area.
