In a major initiative to enhance security in Punjab’s border districts, the state government has outlined a series of steps to fortify police posts and stations. With the increasing challenges posed by cross-border crime and militant activities, strengthening the police infrastructure in these sensitive areas has become a priority.
The first step involves upgrading the physical infrastructure of police posts and stations, ensuring they are equipped with modern surveillance systems such as CCTV cameras, motion sensors, and advanced communication tools. This upgrade will improve real-time monitoring and response capabilities in areas that are vulnerable to illegal activities.
Additionally, fortified barriers, bulletproof windows, and reinforced entry points will be installed at police posts to enhance security for officers and to prevent attacks or breaches. The installation of state-of-the-art weaponry and defensive equipment will also help officers be better prepared to handle any potential threats.
To complement these physical improvements, the government is also investing in personnel training, ensuring that officers stationed in border areas are equipped with the necessary skills to deal with emerging threats, including counter-terrorism techniques and effective crowd control strategies.
The Punjab Police will work closely with other security agencies to ensure coordination and intelligence sharing, which will strengthen the overall security apparatus in these high-risk zones.
This initiative aims to improve law enforcement’s ability to deter cross-border smuggling, terrorism, and other criminal activities, contributing to the safety and security of Punjab’s border areas.
