OKARA, Dec 5: District Police Officer Bilal Siddique Kamyana has said there is no no-go area in the district, including the villages of military farm tenants.

Speaking at an open kutchery at a military farm village (Chak 15/4-L) on Friday, he said the cases registered during the last eight years in the tenants’ villages would be investigated on merit.

Those nominated in these cases should join the police investigation, he said, assuring that the names of those found innocent would be dropped from the FIRs.

He said the police acknowledge the public right to protest within a certain limit, but would not allow anyone to block GT Road or occupy railway track.

The police, he said, were forming reconciliation committees at the union council level for the public good. He said now transportation of cattle out of the district would be possible only after seeking permission from the DPO office.

Mr Kamyana said the murder case of a Christian tenant of Chak 10/4-L would be probed on merit. Anjuman-i-Mazareen Secretary Mehr Abdul Sattar has been nominated in the murder case.
