Senior Superintendent of Police (Operations) for Islamabad, Dr. Syed Mustafa Tanveer, conducted a thorough review of security arrangements at churches across the federal capital ahead of Christmas celebrations. The high-level assessment aimed to ensure a peaceful and secure environment for the Christian community during their important religious festivities.
Comprehensive Security Plan Unveiled
During the review, SSP Operations Dr. Syed Mustafa Tanveer issued detailed directives to police officials. He emphasized the implementation of a comprehensive security plan specifically designed for Christmas. The plan mandates an increased presence of police forces in and around all churches and Christian neighborhoods throughout Islamabad.
The security blueprint includes the strategic deployment of police commandos and snipers at sensitive locations to provide a robust protective cover. Officers have been instructed to enhance patrolling efforts and maintain a constant, vigilant watch. Furthermore, the use of modern technology, including surveillance cameras, is being maximized to monitor activities and ensure quick response to any potential threat.
Coordination and Community Engagement
Dr. Tanveer stressed the importance of close coordination with church administration and local community leaders. Police officials are engaging in continuous dialogue to address any specific concerns and to streamline security efforts. The objective is to create a seamless security apparatus that respects the sanctity of the celebrations while providing an impenetrable shield.
The SSP Operations made it clear that any negligence in duty will not be tolerated. He warned that officers found failing in their responsibilities would face strict departmental action. This stern message underscores the administration's commitment to leaving no stone unturned in safeguarding citizens.
Ensuring Peaceful Celebrations
The reviewed security measures are part of a broader initiative by the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) police to protect all religious and community events. The police force is on high alert to prevent any untoward incident and to guarantee that the Christian community can observe Christmas with complete peace of mind and religious freedom.
This proactive approach by the Islamabad police, led by SSP Operations Dr. Syed Mustafa Tanveer, highlights the state's dedication to protecting minority communities and their places of worship. The enhanced security framework is expected to remain in place throughout the holiday period, ensuring safety from any potential threats.
