The Punjab police have been put on high alert with particular instructions to ensure heightened security arrangements for judges, courts and bars across the province. The Lahore Central Police Office (CPO) issued a new security advisory on Tuesday in the wake of a suicide attack in Islamabad, which claimed the lives of a dozen people, besides leaving many others injured.
The CPO directed the Lahore capital city police officer, all regional police officers, district police officers (DPO) and other officials, to review and strengthen the security apparatus already in place for the protection of judicial complexes, courtrooms, judges’ residences, bars, and the movement of judges, calling these steps “imperative”.
