Inspector General of Police Inam Ghani says that Punjab Police is taking all possible measures such as the protection of life and property of the people, maintenance of state writ and effective use of modern technology to improve public service delivery. Steps are being taken on a priority to transform the Punjab Police from a force to police service so that the process of serving and protecting the people can be carried out in the best possible way.
