RAWALPINDI, Sept 1: Rawal Town Nazim Sheikh Rashid Shafique on Saturday said there were threats of subversive activities by miscreants targeting public offices in the city.

Speaking on the occasion of installation of security devices at the Rawal Town administration’s offices, the nazim said that security agencies had reported that various public offices could be hit by the terrorists.

According to Mr Shafique, introduction of a new security system and the installation of security gate and close circuit television cameras at the Rawal Town offices were meant to secure it from any terror attacks.

“It is the basic responsibility of the administration to protect the life and property of the people,” he said, adding that the offices of elected representatives were visited by a large number of people and they could not be left insecure.

The nazim said there were some elements who wanted to create a law and order situation in the city, but the administration was vigilant to take on these people and every preventive action would be taken to foil such nefarious designs.
