RAWALPINDI:
The Punjab police top brass seems to be making and reversing decisions and in the process allowing themselves to become the subject of ridicule.
The issue started a few days ago when Punjab Police Inspector General Inam Ghani issued directions via video link in a Regional Police Officers (RPOs) conference for the removal of station house officers (SHOs) who have a criminal record or a poor reputation. On the occasion, the IG gave guidelines to appoint competent and reputed police officers as SHOs.
