MIRPURKHAS, May 1: The District Public Safety Commission, at a meeting held here on Friday, unanimously passed a resolution, opposing the changes in the safety commission system.

The participants of the meeting said that with induction of MNAs and MPAs in the DPSCs, the commissions would fall prey to political influence due to which people would not get relief through them.

The DPSC members also urged police to take measures to improve traffic system at Market Chowk and Municipal Complex Chowk.

They also urged the Taluka Municipal Administration to remove encroachments.

ASP Ali Malik Javed, who was present at the meeting, assured the commission of action against thieves and other criminals and sought cooperation of elected representatives and residents in this regard.

Mr Sarhandi asked the members to furnish reports on the action taken on the complaints of the people within 15 days.

The secretary of the commission, Aijazul Hassan Siddiqui, said that the DPSC had received 79 complaints so far and 40 of them had been disposed off.
