The Inspector General of Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Police, Capt (Retd) Muhammad Sohail Chaudhry, visited several police stations and the F-6 Khidmat Markaz on Wednesday, directing officers to improve public service delivery and ensure complaints from citizens are resolved promptly, according to the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP).
During the visit, the IGP reviewed ongoing policing matters and assessed the facilities being provided to the public at the locations, an official told APP. Khidmat Markaz centres are citizen facilitation offices set up in Pakistan to provide a range of government and police-related services under one roof, including complaint registration and verification services.
Inspection visits of this kind are a routine part of oversight by senior police officials in Pakistan, intended to monitor how front-line stations are functioning and to identify gaps in service to the public. Such visits often focus on staff conduct, responsiveness to complaints, upkeep of facilities, and adherence to standard operating procedures.
The IGP's directive to improve public services and expedite the handling of citizen complaints reflects a broader, recurring emphasis within Pakistani policing on responsiveness and accountability at the station level, an area that has drawn public and media scrutiny in various cities over the years.
The Islamabad Capital Territory police force oversees law enforcement across the federal capital, a jurisdiction that includes diplomatic areas, government installations, and residential sectors, each presenting its own policing demands. Officials say periodic senior-level visits to individual stations and citizen facilitation centres form part of ongoing efforts to standardise service quality across the territory's police jurisdictions.
No specific new policy measures or timelines were announced in connection with Wednesday's visit, and further details on any follow-up actions were not immediately available.
