THIS is apropos the letter ‘Lahore street crime’ (Dec 25). The government has launched Dolphin Force, which is often seen running brand new heavy motorbikes on main roads of the city.

The government has ordered them to keep a check on crimes on crowded main roads where a crime is impossible. There have been several street crimes in the colonies rather than on main roads.

The government should order these men to patrol in the colonies where crime rate is higher.
