Hopefully, 22 new police stations of Lahore will be constructed soon. A committee under the headship of Additional Chief Secretary (Home) is being constituted which will further extend Safe City projects in 16 districts of the province. Rupees one billion rent was used to be paid under the cost of cameras for mega events in the past but now this amount will be saved with the installation of cameras. The condition of police stations is also getting improved besides changing police station culture. Young and honest police officers are being posted and positive results have come to surface. 24 thousand 8 hundred driving licenses have been made in a single day in Lahore which were only 250 per day before one month and it is a record. When crackdown was not launched then only 250 licenses were being made on a daily basis while 75 thousand licenses are being made in a single day across Punjab. ACS (Home) is working hard day and night on the Safe City projects. We are receiving a positive feedback with regard to the police and improvement about police impression has occurred. The applicants can provide their feedback regarding a police station on the QR code. We are upgrading 737 police stations not only in Lahore but across Punjab. We will InshaAllah complete revamping, upgradation and other projects within the stipulated timeframe. Whosoever will take over as Chief Minister, will perform in a better manner InshaAllah. Approximately 9,000 induction of police is being carried out. I visited the Kacha areas along with the whole team. We will eliminate the gang of dacoits. A separate package is being formulated for the uplift of Kacha area which will comprise 19 police stations, 2 based stations, schools, roads and hospitals. In reply to a question, CM said that the parents should think as to whether they have to keep their children in the police stations or make their driving licenses. Parents should definitely make driving licenses of their children and no leniency will be meted out in this regard. There are 70 lakh vehicles and motorcycles in Lahore and there are only 10 lakh licence-holders. We have made travel free on the Metrobus and Orange Line Metro Train for the students.
