LAHORE: Chief Minister Chaudhry Parvez Elahi on Thursday appreciated the improvement in the general law and order situation in the province, adding that all resources were being provided to protect the lives and property of the people.

He said the safety of the people was a priority while chairing a meeting at his office to review the law and order situation in the province, and he stressed and directed that indiscriminate action against criminals should be continued.

A crackdown should be done indiscriminately against elements displaying arms, he said. Indiscriminate action should be taken against arms display, and the law prohibiting the display of weapons should be strictly implemented, he added.

Also, on the order of the chief minister, Daultala was granted the status of a tehsil of Rawalpindi district.
