Dear Sir,
In view of the prevailing circumstances and terrorists strikes in different parts of the country , it is good to note that the Punjab government has decided to further tighten existing security measures particularly the entry and exit points of the province to ensure that the militants, extremists and terrorists do not possibly enter from any point for carrying out their subversive activities anywhere in the province.
According to the reports in the newspapers, this timely decision was taken at a an important meeting of Cabinet Committee on Law and Order held under chairmanship of Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Lahore the other day. The chief minister directed all necessary measures should be taken on priority basis for ensuring safety and protection of life and property of the people and the police and other law enforcement agencies officers and jawans should continue working in close coordination and cooperation with each other quite diligently and efficiently to achieve the desired objectives of elimination of menace of terrorism and extremism from the sacred soil of the motherland in general and the province in particular.
While the provincial government as well as all the law enforcement agencies along with armed forces of Pakistan are taking all possible security measures to ward off threats of any terrorist
attack, it is also the duty of the people at large to remain alert and vigilant of their surroundings and closely watch suspected elements and report them to the law enforcement agencies without
wasting a moment. Such alertness and vigilance on the part of the people will certainly go a long way in elimination of terrorists and extremists from the society both in the rural and urban areas. It is quite commendable that the provincial government has reviewed the prevailing law and order situation in the province in the wake of Parachinar terrorist attack and decided to further tightening
of the security measures in the province-M.Z.RIFAT.
